Beth, this was FASCINATING! One of my greatest disappointments about living in the UK is that we cannot get the range of cherries that are available in the US - and by that I mean BLUE, GREEN and YELLOW cherries - hahahah - I have seen photographs of big jars of them on supermarket shelves and I WANT SOME for my Vincent Price Cucumber Crocodiles! Oh, and P.S. There is a Kristian Alfonso recipe in the forthcoming Murder, She Cooked book and somewhere in my mess of a flat I have a whole Days of Their Lives recipe book. I have never seen a single minute of the show alas, never shown here as far as I know...
So that's where maraschino cherries come from!

Seriously. The FDA has a cherry policy 🤦♀️ I’ve always been a bit terrified of these cherries. Kind of like American cheese.
