"In honor of George (of course), the following recipe uses canned, frozen or bottled sour cherries. Canned cherry pie filling is a bright-red, gelatinous substance that bears only faint resemblance to the fruit from which it supposedly springs.

Many coops carry individually quick frozen sour cherries, which have a beautiful bright red color and unforgettable flavor...."
