- Alex3917 16y agoFor what it's worth, there are still a couple of brands that make something close to actual maraschino cherries, i.e. without the disgusting amounts of red 40, artificial preservatives, and corn syrup. The ones made by Luxardo are reasonably good: http://www.amazon.com/Luxardo-Gourmet-Maraschino-Cherries-360g/dp/B001CDOBCM http://www.amazon.com/Luxardo-Gourmet-Maraschino-Cherries-36... There are probably even better ones out there, though I haven't been able to find any yet.
- defen 16y agoMake your own the old fashioned way - just buy a bag of whole frozen sweet cherries, put them in a mason jar, and cover with Maraschino (Luxardo). After three days you'll have a mason jar full of delicious Maraschino cherries.
- sliverstorm 16y agoI know they don't, but with the declining bee population and now this- whether or not you produce the core ingredient to your product, I'd hope you should show some interest in that ingredient continuing to exist.
