Good thing there are still more drying. They are so darn good. And since Matt doesn't like them I don't even have to share! <br /><br />Sweet cherries off the tree are the absolute best, but I've been impressed by these sour cherries I must say, particularly since I don't have a line on a sweet cherry tree at the moment. (maybe someday!) There are sour cherry trees scattered across town going unpicked. (until now) Woohoo.<br /><br />And I am with you Gooseberry, the fruit has to be free or else I cannot afford to dry it. That is why my dehydrator doesn't see as much action as I wish it did. Oh well, I take it when I can. Dried cherries would never have been my first choice for dried fruit, but it turns out I like it more than I figured. It worked out great.<br /><br />Now I have to try to get that jar filled without eating them all somehow....BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-83546054950338496432011-07-22T06:47:37.035-06:002011-07-22T06:47:37.035-06:00Gorgeous cherries.

We start getting them around Christmas time, and one of my favourite things to do is stew them and make summer pudding. Yum! Or just each them fresh. Either way, they never last long. ;)<br />~S.xo.sorcha.oxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431135816635778553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-43224972420214920212011-07-21T18:32:22.537-06:002011-07-21T18:32:22.537-06:00What a great idea to dehydrate them!

In baking, cereals but perhaps also in meat-based stews (together with some dried apricots, dates or figs?)

We can only buy fresh cherries from the supermarkets here and they are very expensive, would never have any spare to dehydrate, so I'll have to just imagine how good they taste!
