Sweet cherries are used much less frequently in desserts than sour cherries. It's not that confectioners dislike the poor berry. It's simply that it has a less vibrant and distinct flavor than its "sister." Therefore, even when sweet cherries are used, the berry treat is usually less enjoyable.
But this doesn't negate the berries' benefits. After freezing, cherries retain many active substances that will help maintain good health during the fall and winter. Therefore, keeping a supply of berries on hand is a very good idea.

Rinse the cherries in a sink or large basin filled with water until all the twigs and leaves float to the surface. Remove the stems and place them in a bowl.
Take a few cherries at a time and lay them out on a clean cutting board. Ideally, the cherries should be in a single layer, with minimal contact between them.
Place the board in the freezer and leave it overnight or for 3 hours if you are preparing the cherries early in the day and don’t have a lot of cherries.
Place frozen cherries in bags or containers that can withstand low temperatures.
