Preparation
Dried cherries can be semi-dried and succulent, or dried and in need of soaking before use. Both are delicious and should be treated like a slightly more acidic dried vine fruit. Use both sweet and sour dried cherries in home-made muesli mixes, muffins and rolled oat βenergyβ bars.
Add dried cherries to winter fruit salads and compotes, or use in place of sultanas or raisins in baked fruit puddings such as apple pie or peach cobbler. They also taste good mixed with dried blueberries and dried cranberries, as well as white chocolate.
