I too, noticed these small bags of cherries in the grocery this last Sunday.
They were in fact, labeled "tart" cherries. And yes, they were rather
expensive although since they were dried they might go further once
rehydrated.

I also saw on this same rack, and bought, a package of candied lemon peels.
Since I made candied orange and lime peels recently from directions posted
on the Rialto, I wanted to see how the commercial product compared. As I
expected, the commercial stuff compares to the homemade like the commercial
mead compares to the homemade. Although both the peels taste mostly of
sugar, anyway.
