Are You Craving Rainier Cherries?

I absolutely love cherries, but when Rainier cherries are available, I buy them pretty much in bulk!  When they’re in season (now), I eat them every day, and then when they’re gone, I wish I had eaten more.  I like to combine them with Bing cherries so I have bites of both tart and sweet.

Rainier cherries are by far the prettiest and sweetest cherries, not to mention the most expensive.  Luckily, Costco sells a 3-lb clamshell for $9.99!

Do you prefer Rainier or Bing cherries?  Is there a variety that is unique to your region?
