Dried cherries

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare dried cherries at home, take ripe cherries. You will also need any device for extracting the seeds. The easiest way is to use a garlic press with a special attachment.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the cherries well and let the water drain completely, drain the berries. Next you need to remove the seeds from each berry - this is the most labor-intensive task in this long process of preparing dried cherries. Please note that the berries splash juice! Place the berries in a bowl, from which you then drain the juice that has flowed out of them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the seedless berries on a surface lined with several layers of kitchen towels. Let the cherries sit for a while, preferably 2 hours. The towels will absorb excess liquid. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the cherries evenly over the surface. Place in an oven heated to 60-70 degrees for 3-4 hours. Monitor the moisture content of the berries; if necessary, dry them further.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the dried berries in a larger bowl, sprinkle with powdered sugar, shake to distribute the powder evenly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Store dried cherries in a dry, tightly sealed jar, or in parchment paper bags; you can store them in the freezer (this will keep them from home for longer).

This year our cherry trees did very well. I prepare cherry desserts and preparations every day. I came across a recipe for dried cherries on my favorite website; I have never prepared cherries this way in my life. I tried drying cherries in the sun, but it didn’t work. I tried drying it in an electric dryer, but it didn’t dry properly either. I gave up on this, and now I decided to try making cherries using this recipe. Dried cherries at home is a rather lengthy process, but a worthwhile one. First, I collected the cherries, sorted them, and cleaned them. Then I put it on trays with holes to drain the juice and left it in the sun. Then I laid the berries on a baking sheet on a silicone mat and dried the cherries in the oven at 60 C for 6 hours. Happened! The cherry shriveled and darkened. An excellent recipe for dried cherries at home. At the end, according to the author’s advice, I sprinkled the dried cherries with powdered sugar and shook them. I put them in jars and closed them tightly. I tried cherries, very tasty! Now there is a second baking sheet in the oven) I will now prepare desserts with dried cherries and just gobble them up))) Many thanks to the author!!!
