Questions about Tart dried cherries

How can you rehydrate tart dried cherries for cooking?
Cover them with hot water or fruit juice and leave for about 15 minutes, then drain. For a savoury sauce, soak them in stock instead; add the soaking liquid too if you want a stronger cherry flavour.
What do tart dried cherries go well with?
Their sharp flavour works with porridge, granola, dark chocolate and toasted nuts. For savoury meals, try them in a grain salad with roast squash, or simmer them into a sauce for duck or pork.
How should you store tart dried cherries after opening?
Seal them in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. If the room is warm or humid, refrigerate them; discard any that develop mould or an unusual smell.
