I make a big batch, put them on a baking sheet , sprinkle lightly with flour, freeze, and then move to the freezing bags. Otherwise they will stick together...
All cherries, berries and plums are suitable to make pierogies. They are delicious!!!
When my grams and mom were alive my favorite way to prepare pierogi was to first boil them, chill in the fridge, then pan fry them.
I've never played with wonton skins, would that be doable with them?

My Dad and I used to go through bowls of them in season..nothing left but a hugh mound of cherry stones...
my dad would wave his hand over the pits, and quote the line from an old Western movie when an Indian Chief said; 'Today, many dead and wounded, tomorrow...many more to die.' :~}
Thanks for that! Laugh of the day if not the week!
I should have titled this thread CHERRIES so you wouldn't argue about what type you think is best.....
I like to add pieces of bing cherries to homemade vanilla ice cream for the final few minutes of cycle. In Montana you can buy cherries direct from the grower farm stands at Flathead Lake in July.
So glad that this thread was started. Cherries are by far, my most favorite, favorite food in the world. I prefer them to any type of elaborate cake or dessert or anything else. When I was growing up, they weren't so expensive and you could pick them out from a big pile in the store. They don't grow where I live so they are usually imported from Washington State or California. Now, they are prepackaged and they put too many in each package/bag to eat before they get spoiled. I've had bing and more recently ranier, but what are Anne's cherries and the others? Do they look different from Bing cherries?
In season, which is very short, they average $3-4 per lb. Sometimes, they go lower for a week, but lower than $2.99 lb. is rare. I don't care. I will splurge on them. Sometimes, around Christmas time, the stores sell them imported from Chile for some outlandish price, but I will buy them just once anyway to have them in December as a very special treat.
My mother used to make piergoen, but they had either potato or cheese filling. I never had a pierogie with fruit filling. I'd like to try that. They do sell cherry and cheese knishes around here, but have never seen cherries in a pierogie.
They usually start selling them here in June and through July. By August, it's rare or the prices have gone sky high.
You guys are seeing cherries in the market? I haven't seen any here and I'm close to the cherry orchards in Washington.
I'll have to watch for them. I bought a package of Phyllo today. I could do something nice with that and some cherries. Actually, I wanted puff pastry, but the store didn't gave any, so phyllo it will be.
I've had 6 cherry trees, which the birds enjoyed very much. I'd be lucky to get a cupful of Royal Anns for myself.
