Dried Cherries

Dried Cherries

Just wash them, pit them, and place on the dehydrator trays.  Dry at 160 degrees until pliable.  They may feel slightly sticky when done.  If in doubt as to whether they are done or not – just turn the dehydrator off until they cool and see how they feel.  Don’t worry if some dry too hard.  I put them all in a jar and the hard ones will soften in a few days. These are my favorite.  I use them in place of raisins all the time.  I chop them when using them in cookie, but in cakes I don’t.
