Dried cherries and dry beans...

hello!
i dont know what to tell you about the beans, i cant cook those worth a darn...
as for the cherries... yes you can add them to muffins or pancakes however i would sugjest that if possible soak them in a bit of whatever liqid is going into the batter first for about 10 min to let them reconstitute a bit. i did a post a while back about 9 grain panckes you might give those a try...
you could also try adding the cherries to some walnuts or almonds for a quick on the go healthy snack.
they would also be yummy on/in cereal too... btw... i love dried fruit...

Thank you, I would never have thought about reconstituting them at all. and for some reason I didnt even think about just eating them, maybe because I have so many....hahha

oh one more thing to try... dice them and sprinkle on a salad yum! i do that with almost any dried fruit, (have you ever had dried grape tomatoes? they taste like candy... Soooo good!

LInk did work, and that looks pretty easy to make, so I just might have to try it! Thank you.
I have had dried cranberries on a salad, and I like the idea of putting cherries on one too. Maybe a salad with turkey. hmm.
Thanks you got me thinking, I guess I just needed some ideas to get my brain going. :]
