What the AI looks for in Dried Cherries

Tart vs sweet: Montmorency means tart and almost always sweetened; Bing or dark sweet cherries are often unsweetened. The two taste and bake very differently.
Pits: Look for 'pitted', and still expect occasional pit fragments. Mechanical pitting is never perfect, so check the cherries if you are serving children.
Added sugar: Unsweetened tart cherries exist but are very sour. Sweetened tart cherries carry substantial added sugar.
