Default advice wanted: dried cherries

I've acquired what seems to be about two pounds of dried cherries, and am
wondering how to use them in cooking.

Kay Hartman posted this recipe many years ago (with chicken legs, I
believe?) and the only improvement I think it needs is using peppers
with a little more *kick* than the anchoes.

Hi Dan,

If you like to bake, you can use them in place of raisin for Oatmeal and
cherry cookies...or my favorite was on valentines I made some biscotti
cookies with chocolate & dried cherries...they were delicious!!! Let me
know if you want the recipe.

Take care,

Thanks! I would need to try it without the salt, but there's a point at
which peppers don't _need_ salt to bring out the flavor....

In my case, I would probably do without the wine.

Just use in place of raisins -- sounds good, and broadly applicable.

You Dog, You!! Do you like chutney? I JUST posted a chutney question
and mentioned this recipe. It's really good, Dan and is done in the
microwave. You could pass on the apple juice and substitute OJ. I
would use fresh ginger, though. Oh, it says it'll keep a week in the
fridge. Wrong. It'll keep FOREVER in the fridge. Trust me. VOE. You
could easily halve it just to try it.

As far as the rest of that pot o' gold, treat yourself and eat them out
of hand. Yum! Those puppies go for about $11/lb at my co-op! Color me

Hydrate them in a bit of wine or vinegar, and toss in a salad. I also
like salads with dried cranberries.

I use them in bran muffins in place of raisins. You can pretty much use them
wherever you'd use raisins.

Dried cherries are good in cobblers and fruit crisps and some fruit pies.

Dan,
I made this last year for passover. It was really good.
Otherwise - use the cherries in almost anything that calls for raisins
or Craisins (dried cranberries).
The dried cherries are also really good added to white chocolate
almond bark.
Lynn from Fargo

Apple Cherry Crisp

1 lemon, squeezed into 8 cups cold water
4 pounds big Granny Smith apples (about6)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups dried cherries
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into quarters
(for Pareve use unsalted stick margarine)

Crumbs
1 cup matzah meal (90 grams)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped medium-fine
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the middle position.

2. Peel, core and dice the apples into 1/4" pieces. (Mine were 1/8 "
thick and postage stamp sized) Drop into the lemon-water as you go, to
keep the apples from turning brown. Drain the apples well. Mix in the
sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and cherries.
3. Turn the apples into a greased 8x10" pan. Dot with the butter.
Cover with foil. Make 3 slits in the foil, place in the oven and. bake
for 1 hour.

4. Meanwhile, make the crumbs by mixing the flours, sugars and nuts in
a small bowl. Add the butter, and stir with a fork to until the
mixture is moistened. Press the mixture with your fingers into chunks.
5. The crumbs can be sprinkled on the apples when they are cooked, or
the apples can be made ahead (up to 2 days), reheated until warm, and
then the crumbs can be
sprinkled on and baked. In either case, sprinkle the crumbs on and
bake at 400 degrees 10-20 minutes, until the crumbs are nicely
browned. Let cool to warm
before serving.

I like cherries enough that I suspect if I started eating them out of
hand, I would finish them off too quickly....
