Were you selling direct to the public or to restaurants? I've got several upscale restaurants in the area where I might be able to get a premium for them. Figuring there are likely going to be 100+ in a pint if they can keep the staff from snacking on them that's a small per plate expense for a unique garnish.

I know putting them out at a farmers market at 2-3 x the cost of a pint of cherries they are unlikely to sell unless you have someone planning a party they want to use them for.
