Cherries you may want to stay away from are the Maraschino cherries (they are the ones that come jared and come on top of a sunday or banana split). Maraschino cherries are made by bleaching the fruit in a sulfur dioxide brine. They are then toughened with a lime or calcium salt. The cherries are then dyed bright red, flavored, sweetened and packed into jars or canned.
