Our local supermarket ran out of the regular dark red cherries, and
substituted the pink-yellow Rainier cherries that usually go for $6-7 a
pound around here.

What is the best thing to do with these cherries? They seem milder in
taste than the red ones, and I'm curious if there is something special
that folks do with them different from the red ones.

Thanks

Apart from eating out of hand, what about brandied cherries over ice cream?

I tend not to cook with the Rainiers, since they're such good "just eatin'"
cherries, but this sounds like something to try...
