Dried Bing Cherries

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for best quality. They can last much longer than indicated if kept very dry.

Soak dried cherries in hot water, juice, or spirits for 15-30 minutes to plump them up before using in recipes.

Add them to baked goods like muffins, scones, and cookies for bursts of flavor.

Incorporate into trail mixes, granola, or enjoy as a standalone snack.

Use in savory dishes such as salads, grain bowls, or alongside roasted meats.

Chocolate

Nuts (almonds, walnuts)

Oats

Yogurt

Pork

Duck

Cheese (brie, goat cheese)

Not rehydrating them when a softer texture is desired, leading to a very chewy bite.

Assuming they will taste exactly like fresh cherries; the flavor is more intense and concentrated.
