What goes with Black Cherry?
Dark sweet cherries, Prunus avium, include firm durone and bigarreau types with relatively substantial flesh. Glossy skin surrounds juicy flesh and a hard stone that must be removed before filling pastries or chopping the fruit. Dark colour does not identify a sour cherry, chokecherry or North American wild black cherry; the culinary fruit here is the cultivated sweet cherry.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Black Cherry?
Almond, cream and dark chocolate create different frames for sweet cherry: nutty structure, soft richness and bittersweet depth. With duck or other rich meats, retain enough acidity that the fruit remains a lively element. Build original savoury fillings around chopped or reduced cherry flesh, and avoid substituting syrup-soaked or sour cherries without adjusting sugar and moisture.
