Discussion on dried cherries

Yesterday was our high school regional ski meet.  The parents put on a big spread for the kids for lunch.  I was talking to a mom who brought a broccoli salad with dried cherries in it.  She said the recipe called for dried raisins but she liked dried cherries.  She felt you get a bigger flavor punch from dried cherries and they kind of “up scale” the recipe.  Just the kind of things I like to hear.  My son won the slalom race and so it was a great day.    Betsy King
