Ever since he declined to lie about chopping down a cherry tree, the cherry has been associated with U.S. founding father George Washington. So it's particularly apt that Morgan's in the desert's Sweet & Tart Cherry Festival coincides with Independence Day.
Each variety of the extensive cherry family presents its own distinct flavor profile. The Bing cherry is a cross-bred graft that carries big, sweet, deep-red flavors. The Montmorency cherry, named for a valley in France, is the most popular sour cherry in America for pies, jams & preserves, and is renowned for its wine-like flavor and its firm, yellow flesh and clear juice. The noble Rainier, originating from Washington State and named after Mt. Rainier, is also a cross-breed of the famous Bing and the Van cultivars.
To explore all the delicious personalities of the cherry for yourself, join us from July 3 - 13 at Morgan's!
