Cherry subsititute
Hi Doc,
Interesting reading about this. I used to
live in India (quite a while ago) in Shahjahanpur and Bareilly, UP
state. I went to school during spring, summer, and fall in Mussoorie, a
hill station south east of you near Dehra Dun, now in Uttarakhand state.
I never had karaunda to my knowledge. Many of the local fruits of the
plains that matured during the summer were not available in the hill areas,
other than the standards of mango, banana, papaya, tangerines, the occasional
pomegranate and custard apple, imli from MP state that one of my friends would
bring with him to school, etc. I do fondly remember the grapefruit and
lemons from trees that my grandmother planted in Shahjahanpur, as well as some
Ber fruit which only I and the fruit bats ate, an occasional custard apple,and
some delectable shaitoot (mulberry) that we had until some kid fell out of it
and broke both arms after which it was cut down...
Anyway, I imagine
there has been a lot of development of commercial fruit plantings in north
India over the last several decades.

India the commercial confectioners use cherries in some items. As
cherries are not grown much in India, so they use hard unripe but mature
fruits of Carissa carandas (http://www.fruitipedia.com/karaunda.htm)
which have been cooked in sugar syrup. They look perfectly like
cherries and people who are not familiar with cherries are not able to know.

What sort of cherries do you use for pies?
I am making a cherry pie for a party tomorrow. I'm using
canned cherries. I have been looking for affordable canned cherries (hard
around here) so I'm "taste testing" some options. (Hey, I can
explore canned fruit from the supermarket, right?)
I have a bottle
of cherries from Trader Joe's marked "Morello" (and from Germany.) I
also have some cans just labeled "sour cherries". The Morello
cherries were packed with some sugars, (including glucose!) and are a
lovely dark red. The sour cherries are packed in water and are so
pale I'd consider adding food color. Except that the Morello
cherries are sweetened, they taste quite similar.
Anyone know what
I'm eating? Is the color different just because the processing was
different, or is the fruit really different? What makes a good pie
cherry, anyway?
Thanks,
Ginda
