Invite a shining pint full to
take that a tumble from the shelf into your grocery
cart and carried home with care to protect the claret
fruit's delicate skin.
Pop
those cherries in the freezer then roll them across
your lovers' skin in fine, 9 1/2 Weeks
fashion. Or simply place a bowl, piled high at the
bedside, awaiting the occasion for a naughty midnight
feast.
Often mingled with chocolate, cherries become an exotic
ingredient in otherwise mundane desserts. They transform
traditional chocolate cake into something so sophisticated
it deserves a name like Black Forest. And of course,
what would that sundae be without the cherry on top?
Little did your mama know when she ordered you your
first Shirley Temple, that childhood mainstay made
from ginger ale and grenadine topped with a plump Maraschino
that cherries
are loaded with sexual stimulation. Certain cherries,
those with more musky scents, are said to stimulate
pheromone production. They also offer a little potassium,
essential for producing sexual hormones. Cherries'
antioxidants keep skin radiant and their quercetin content has antihistaminic attributes, a wonderful
aid to physical exertion.
