Summer has all the perks of seasonal fruit and cherries are one of them! Not only are they high in antioxidants they taste good as well. I prefer dried cherries because I’m a sucker for anything made in a dehydrator. These cherries are pretty simple to make, and if you don’t have a cherry pitter (I understand your pain) you’re in luck!
What You Will Need:
Knife
Cherries
Dehydrator
I find that if you slice the cherries four ways the pit is easier to take out! But I really should get a cherry pitter for days like this.
It took me almost an hour to pit the whole bag, but it’s always worth it. They taste so gooood!
I like to dry them out overnight at 115. That way they are soft and chewy.
this is such a useful recipe! we can totally put that to practice!
cherries have to be one of my all time favourite fruits.. i usually devour them fresh, never thought to dry them before. definitely something i need to try in my kitchen. thanks for the idea!
I’ve never tried drying my own cherries or fruit but have always wanted to try. Now I have these great tips, thanks for sharing Shundara and hope you have a great weekend!
My copain’s brother brought some picked cherries few weeks ago and they were so juicy and tasty and quickly the bowl of cherries disappeared in a few hours. Thanks for the lovely step by step photos, I’ve never dried fruits before! I would use the dried cherries on my oatmeal and grits, mmmm!
I love dried cherries! These look fantastic! I wonder if doing them in the oven for a long period of time would also work? 🙂
