What can I use dried cherries for?!

Take a sauce pan and fill it with some cherries and water, and boil it. Then cook some chicken or pork in some butter in a large pan. Drizzle the cherry sauce over the chicken or pork and serve with some baby red potatoes. You can put the potatoes on a cookie sheet with some olive oil and some garlic and rosemary.

(also if your a vegetarian, you can easily substitute the meat with maybe some eggplant or whatever you like!)

You can also make a wonderful chicken salad by using your cherries, chicken, chopped nuts, celery, diced onion, diced apple and a mixture of mayonnaise, curry and mustard. You could even add some canned pineapple and use some of the juice in the mayonnaise and mustard mixture before mixing with the salad. If the cherries are good sized, just cut them up before putting in the salad.

Hope that helps.

Are they seeded? If so, you can use them wherever you'd use raisins. You could bake some scones with the dried cherries in them, that could be good. Or some kind of 'quickbread' like banana or zucchini bread. You can stir a few into a hot cup of tea, and they flavor the tea, and then you eat them when you get down to the bottom (you could probably do that with coffee too). You can eat them with nuts just out-of-hand. You can stir them into oatmeal. You can use them in turkey stuffing. You can bake them in cookies, maybe oatmeal cookies, like raisins.

I agree with the previous person but there are so many things you can do with them. Add them to an Apple pie(with streusel on top), oatmeal cookies, cookie bars. You could rehydrate them with a simple syrup and add them to sundaes, make a milkshake with them. Add to ice cream with a chocolate swirl. Rehydrate them with brandy and pour them over ice cream, or add them to a vinegar and use it to cook with or make a dressing for salad or even a marinade. Would go nice with cranberries for a sauce with your turkey.
