Description
Maraschino cherries are cherries that have been heavily preserved and sweetened.
They originated in Croatia in the 1800s, but commercial varieties have since changed significantly in both their manufacturing process and uses.
Maraschino cherries are a popular topping for ice cream sundaes and used in certain cocktails or as garnishes for foods like glazed ham, parfaits, milkshakes, cakes, and pastries. They’re also often found in canned fruit mixes.
