Rainier Cherries Begin in California. The first Rainier cherries of the season will beginning showing up from California in late May to early June. There isnât a huge supply of them and often the price is super high. They are only available briefly, then you may not see them in stores for a couple weeks untilâ¦.
However, if the growing season is over and the first heavy frost is in the forecast, but some of the wraps are still more green than yellow, harvest them anyways. Ground cherries do after-ripen indoors, just like tomatoes. To store ground cherries you need a dry, dark place, not necessarily cold. We store ours in a cardboard box in the basement furnace room. This picture was taken at the end of January when I used the last ones. They do get a little wrinkly, but tasted just as good.
