Rainier Cherry Muffins or Rainier Cherry Cobbler Recipe


By What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine (Visit website)



Cobbler or muffins you choose they are both fabulous in flavor with these amazing sweet cherries. Not around long, so every year when I see them I snatch them up in a hurry. They freeze well in storage bags too!

If you haven't heard about these types of cherries and are a fan of sweet cherries your truly missing out on the best kind, rainier cherries.

A few years back a friend told me about these and said, she had tried these and never looked back at any other kind. Always guaranteed sweet, firm, and absolutely delicious flavor cherries. A bit pricey but worth every penny.


The Rainier Cherry is the sweetest of all the sweet cherries. With its characteristic cream-colored flesh, Rainier Cherry farmers will not pick them until the sugar brix (a measure of how sweet the cherry is) reach 17. But, some wait until they reach 20 brix. That is one of the reason they are so memorable -- and addictive.

The Rainier is a cross between a Bing and a Van -- two sweet-red varieties. Created by Harold Fogle in 1952, who, at the time, directed the cherry breeding program at the Washington State University.The cherries will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
