Instructions
-
-
Select firm, ripe Northwest fresh sweet cherries.
-
Wash, cut in half, and remove stems and pits. Place cherries, skin side down, in single layers on dehydrator trays.
-
Dry cherries at 140 F (60 C) for 6 to 12 hours, being careful not to over-dry; cherries should be leathery and slightly sticky when properly dried.
-
To store, place in small plastic bags, seal and keep in dark, dry, cool place. Dried cherries are a great substitute for raisins or dried currants in recipes and as a snack.
