Good question, Pat. The answer depends on the recipe. The focaccia can most certainly be made using dried cherries. The Spiced Cherry Breakfast Ring and the Cherry Clafouti will likely be just fine if you rehydrate the cherries in a soaking liquid overnight, drain, and then use as directed. The Cherry Cream Pie and Cherry Crisp recipes are worth putting aside until you have fresh or frozen cherries. They just won't be the same with dried. You can also use your dried cherries in some of these tasty recipes. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
