Freeze Dried Cherries

My mother-in-law bought a crate of cherries from the fruit truck and gifted me what she couldn't use. 🥳 They are so full of flavor! Jaron has been eating them as fast as I can pit them. 

Unfortunately, they're starting to go bad already. I picked through the box and sorted out the bruised/molding ones. The good ones got washed in vinegar water and are being stored in glass jars, vacuum sealed for good measure. So far they've stored very well. 

There weren't as many bad ones as I thought. 

I washed them in vinegar water too, then cut off the bruises and mold. They got sliced up and stuck in the freeze dryer! 

They turned out great - great flavor and great texture. Like a healthy candy! 


This is probably my second favorite freeze dried fruit (pears are my favorite). I would do more, but they're so good fresh...
