Cherry pickle is spicy but on the sweeter side.

 

I love pickling fruits but this  was completely a new one for me.

These red rubies were almost good to be stringed and worn around my neck.

 The simple drinking straw worked well for pitting this small batch .I must tell you, do it when you want some calming down 🙂
