Real maraschino cherries (Luxardo, who invented them) are just marasca cherries candied in sugar and marasca cherry juice.

The bright red ones are the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" version.

This thread inspires me... I think I'll try to make a real batch of maraschino cherries.

Oh, by the way, which one's "Pink?"

Yep. We soak the cheaper ones in whiskey or bourbon for a tasty treat
