Ans. The maraschino is a type of preserved and sweetened cherries usually made from Rainiers, Queen (Royal) Annes, and other golden varieties. They are commonly used for garnishing cakes, pastries, ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, and frozen yogurts. Instead of the traditional method of preserving them in maraschino liquors, maraschino cherries are now soaked in a brine solution and dyed vivid red.
