Any of the grocery stores carry a decent brand? My choices are pretty limited - WalMart sells only their store brand which is very bland. Vons/Safeway only carries their store brand, it's a little better but not much. I was in San Diego this weekend and stopped at Cost Plus hoping to find some fancy import - they had only the US Soiree brand which doesn't have much of that distinctive almond/cherry pit flavor either. I put about a tablespoon of almond extract in the Soiree cherries hoping to get some almond flavor, I'll wait and see what happens - I didn't have much to lose. I may have to order something online.
