Cherry Preserves Recipes

Perfect for Year-round Enjoyment

You don’t need to live in Oregon to enjoy the best of what our land has to offer. Our spreads, jams and chutneys bring the sweet, tart flavor of Oregon cherries to you throughout the year. We’ve found that cherries go well with just about everything -- as a condiment for pork, a spread for cheese and, of course, on a thick slice of toast. Here’s one of our favorites ideas below. What do you do with our jams, spreads and chutneys? We’d love to hear from you!
