I have been given 5 bags of dried cherries. What can I make with them?

There are a great many ideas and recipes if you put your title into google. Some of them look pretty good.

​Use them in place of any recipe calling for raisins, crasins or similar.

I love dried cherries. They are wonderful in salads, even in chicken salad. They are good in muffins or quick bread. They can be used in cookies or other recipes calling for dried fruit like raisins or dried cranberries. They are so full of flavor. Also, they are my dog's favorite treat used only for very special rewards.

I just eat them straight out of the package.

Lucky you!!

Take a boneless pork loin roast and split almost all the way thru. Lay flat and pound with a mallet or wine bottle (empty of course ) Make some stuffing using your favourite recipe and add the dried cherries. Mound the stuffing on one half of the loin roast. Pull the other half over to enclose the stuffing and tie using butchers string. Rub the loin all over with olive oil and roast as usual. Yummmm

You can also make a sweet stuffing using onions, celery, apples, and a selection of dried fruit but we found we prefer some dried fruit added to our regular sage and onion stuffing.

I am so jealous, I love dried cherries. I bake bread with them. Make a slightly sweet yeast bread. I add chopped cherries, apricots and dried blueberries. Also about 1 tsp of chai seasoning.

They are excellent in scones!

They are our favorite treatment for combating Gout. I buy them by the pound at the health food store, about $13.75 per lb. As someone else said, substitute them for raisins, very good in home made granola.
