Did you know that today is National Cherry Day? A few years ago, Food Lovers Britain launched the Cherry Aid Campaign in a bid to get us all behind the British Cherry.

More about Cherries:
Tune into Nick Coffer’s Weekend Kitchen today at 12pm on BBC Three Counties Radio to hear me talking more about British cherries on the radio.
I also really enjoyed reading this article on the Cherry Aid Campaign by Silvana Soissons, the inspirational Editor of The Foodie Bugle.
So, if you are out and about today, remember to look out for British cherries and enjoy!

Oh Emma, that's so funny! It must have been a very large bag of cherries – and absolutely neccesary in the circumstances!
We have a large apple tree but I'd love to plant a cherry tree to see what happens. You can get lovely minature patio trees too which bear fruit so I might try one of those first.

>Everything grown locally tastes so much better! My sister has a beautiful black cherry tree in her back garden in Twickenham, she picked buckets off it recently! A cherry tree would sell any property to me, it's definitely one of my favourite fruits (don't tell my husband but as they were also one of my pregnancy cravings with my son, I might have spent £17 on a bag of english cherries that I HAD to have…!!)…
