Questions about Dried cherry
How much dried cherry counts as a portion?
The NHS counts 30 g of dried fruit as one portion towards your five a day. It recommends having dried fruit with a meal.
Do dried cherries need soaking before baking?
Not usually. If they feel very firm, soak them in just-boiled water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry so they don’t add extra moisture to your bake.
How do you add dried cherries to porridge?
Stir them into the oats for the last few minutes of cooking to soften, or scatter them over the finished porridge for a chewier bite.
How should you store an opened pack of dried cherries?
Seal them in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry cupboard away from the cooker and direct sunlight.
Are dried cherries the same as glace cherries?
No. Dried cherries are chewy pieces of dried fruit; glace cherries are preserved in syrup and are stickier and sweeter. They won’t give a fruit cake or bake the same texture, so they’re not a straight swap.
What can you use instead of dried cherries?
Dried cranberries give a similar tart bite, while raisins make a milder, sweeter substitute. Swap by weight in porridge, flapjacks or fruit cake.
