We've got some great dried cherry recipes we'll be sharing over the next several posts. They'll brighten up any meal or appetizer. In addition, even though the cherry crop was devastated this year due the weather, we have enough dried cherries for our customers. This is a result of having excellent relations with both our suppliers and customers. Also, with the holidays fast approaching, these dried cherry recipes, some with cherry juice concentrate, would be a good part of any holiday menu lineup. We look forward to your feedback on these recipes and as always, on any of our blog posts.
