Cherries in November

It's November in Abu Dhabi.  Normally, we see cherries in the supermarkets until about August.

 
Surprised to see cherries this late in the year.  Checked the cherry harvest calendar.  The cherries  are likely from Australia, New Zealand or Chile.  To date, the best cherries we've eaten have been from Uzbekistan.

The cherries were from Spinney's, a food and wine retail shop here.  Pretty good.  Nice deep red color.  Sweet finish.  Great for my gout.

Still looking for tart cherries though. They're even better.  There must be some trade issue that keeps them from getting to the UAE.  Used to buy tart cherry juice sourced from Turkey.

I can't find them anywhere in the UAE anymore.
