CherryAid - Support the Great British Cherry


CherryAid campaigns to unite all Cherry Lovers – chefs, Cherry growers, producers of Cherry-based food and drink, you, me – to save the British Cherry.
In the last 50 years we’ve lost 90% of our Cherry orchards and now import around 95% of the Cherries we eat. FoodLoversBritain.com has come to the rescue with CherryAid to help them out of a jam!
We'd like to say a massive thank you to all who came along and participated in our Cherry celebrations at Borough Market and in CherryBake. Scroll down for the winning recipes.
