I was there most of the time during the period from 1959 to 1971 and
in 1988.
Unfortunately, have not been back for a while.

cherries - 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.

Here in 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.

Subject: [NAFEX] pie cherries
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
