Cherries and blueberries

Not so long ago, I tried some common fruits here.

Cherries and blueberries.

Not the preserved sweet cherries or the blueberries you see squashed in the middle of a cake.

These are fresh.

The cherries are red, like apples. Not harsh bright red. Round and a little heart shaped. 1/4 of the size of an apple. Smooth skin with a firm touch. And the sweetest juice spilling out as you taste a bite...and of course, you have to spit out the seed...

Blueberries are oval, small. A little bigger than a pea. Texture of a grape but much more sourish although you can still taste a hint of the sweetness.

Yummy. I have to say that Cherries surpassed my expectations...blueberries, what a letdown. I always thought they were sunkissed sweet...but they were still fun to eat :)
