Macerated Cherries

Macerated Cherries are cherries that have been soaked or cooked with sugar or liqueur until softened and glossy — commonly used as cocktail or dessert garnishes and in baking. Nutritionally they are relatively high in simple sugars, providing about 24.2g of sugar per 100g, though they still contribute small amounts of vitamin C and potassium. Because they are a sweetened, processed form of fruit, they offer some of the flavor and convenience of cherries but with more added sugar and less fiber and protein than whole fruit, so they’re best used sparingly as a garnish or occasional treat.
