If you can't wait for the cherries to ripen you can always enjoy Chukar Cherries. Chocolate covered naturally dried Yakima Valley cherries, berries and nuts. They also make pure fruit preserves and cherry sauces, which are great on homemade ice cream, as well as cherry salsa! The retail store and manufacturing facility in Prosser, WA offers samples of these chocolate covered goodies!
