Editor's note: Use these roasted cherries to make Jeni Britton Bauer's Goat Cheese Ice Cream with Roasted Red Cherries .

Roasting cherries concentrates the flavors and natural fruit sugars. Roasted cherries are great for putting in ice cream, for adding on top of it while serving, or even in a pie à la mode sundae.
