I find the "tart" or "pie" cherries such as North Star or Meteor are fine to
eat fresh or frozen. I could eat many more than we manage to freeze each
year as a treat directly from the freezer.

I find the sweet cherries from the store to be insipid compared to the North
Star and Meteor cherries that we grow. I wouldn't dismiss pie or tart
cherries just because of their name, unless you only like really sweet fruit.
I prefer a tart apple to one that is only sweet, and perhaps my taste
differs from other people's (I sure it does as we are not all the same, are
we?)

I originally concentrated on sweet cherries as 1) I love them 2) they're
incredibly
expensive in the store 3) I prefer fruit that is able to be eaten out of hand

I've had much better success with Nanking cherries and am considering
planting some of the
more 'sweet' tart cherries. I would consider Dukes, but they seem to have
disappeared.
Any opinions on the different varieties of tarts would be welcome.
