Why are some cans of cherries plump and lilght in color, while others have darker and somewhat shriveled?

I have not had that experience with Oregon Red Tart Cherries. However, the last cans I purchased were a darker red than any I'd had before so I haven't had to add red food coloring to give them pizzazz.

Read the can! I have a can from last year's tart cherry crop. And then got a new order. Evidently this year's tart cherry crop was a bust due to bad weather. So they sourced tart cherries from Poland and packed them in the US. I love both of them. And I think this company is very honest and up front about this--I totally appreciate that!

I have not seen any shriveled cherries, yet. I still have a few cans left. I have been very happy with the taste and color of the ones I was sent.

I suppose they come from different sources. The last can I opened had a note that they came from Poland and they were very dark red.

If you notice the can says Oregon Red Tart Cherries, it does not say what tone of color they have. The cherries on the trees all have many different types of shades. The real trick is if they taste the same I would not assume they would all look exactly the same. Nature shows a lot of various color and these cherries are no exception. Also notice were they were canned, so much for Oregon , seems a lot come from South America and are imported. If the taste is good a little color can't be a high priorty.

I haven't noticed any of the fruit "shriveled". The color of the packing liquid is sometimes a deeper red but the taste is about the same.

I believe the cherry is darker, but i have not seen the fruitwood. I have the cherry and it goes great with my antique walnut dining room set.

They are actually darker than shown in the picture. I would say they are more on the dark walnut side.

The color is darker than oak or honey but is still loght. More of a caramel color

I don't see much of a hint of red that I would think I would see in a dark cherry finish.

I would say more of a dark cherry. Very dark (I'm assuming you're talking about the frame), but not black.

I ordered my sale cellar about six months ago. The color will probably look a little darker. I think its because you are usually looking at the container from the top, which is the thickest part of the glass. I think that's what makes it look darker. But I am very pleased with mine, I love it.

I would describe them as pale red - the color becomes lighter toward the edges of the blossom, so overall they look pink.

Each ceramic canister has a different design and is most appealing. Unfortunately, I cannot explain what they are. One looks a cluster of cherries, one like a filigree, and the other could be a wheat design. I hope this helps...these are really beautiful and I love the way they are not matching.

From what I have read neither color really matches dark chocolate because both have red cherry undertones.

I would say it is a cherry color, but not a dark cherry. Maybe a medium cherry? It is very nice and sturdy.

It's a funny color. Probably a combination of all the different ingredients. Its dark but you can see red, green, amber colors. Sorry but it is a weird color but tasty.

It's definitely dark. From far away it looks like a black, matte finish. Up close and in natural light you can see the cherry in it.

It is dark, dark brown. It may have just a hint of a red hue but not cherry

The slight change of colour may be caused by normal variations in the natural ingredients.

To be more specific the wood appears to be dark brown, but when sunlight contrasts the color is closer to cherry...all depends on the lighting. Hope that helps

The brown is not red-toned. It is more like a dark brown (not as dark as chocolate).
