Well, cherries and raspberries are both red, both expensive, and both delicious. :)

Ah. Cherries, raspberries. Not exactly the same, but I read them as the same.

I won't tell you how much I paid for a small box of frozen raspberries the day before you posted this. I can't even be jealous because we have no freezer room for 5-lbs of any fruit! Oh wait, I'm still showing how jealous I am, aren't I? Make us a cherry crisp next time we visit!!!

The $12 charge was for the five pounds of cherries. That's what I know I'm going back for. They are so, so good -- and the raspberries cost almost twice as much.

I was referring to the next paragraph where you wrote "$12 for a five pound bag". I actually don't know how it compares to restaurant depot because I haven't checked raspberries in a while.

$21 -- $21.49, to be precise. I didn't say they were cheap, just cheaper than buying them from the grocery store. By all means, plant as many raspberry bushes as you can in your yard. That's the only affordable way I know to get anywhere near as much as you'd want.

I cooked up some of the cherries yesterday for a cherry crisp, and WOW! Since deprived of my own cherry tree (and that was a LONG time ago) I've been relying on canned pitted sour cherries, and have been grateful for them. But I found them low on flavor, and always had to add almond extract to give them some zing. Not so these cherries. What flavor! What delight!

Did you mean $21 for the raspberries, or $12?
