Not exactly the same as the frozen pitted sour cherries, canned (in glass jars) pitted sour cherries are available yearround at grocery stores that carry Polish, German and Hungarian imports. I use German or Polish canned sour cherries to make sour cherry soup in the winter.
Sour cherry soup is a popular summer soup in Hungary, and parts of Poland, Germany and Austria in the summer, using fresh sour cherries.
