Cherries (dried)

Cherries are small, round stone fruits available in both sweet and tart varieties, with a glossy red to dark purple skin. They are eaten fresh, baked into pies and pastries, or preserved as jams and syrups, with tart varieties typically used for cooking and sweet varieties eaten raw. Pitting is usually necessary before cooking, as the stone is not edible.

Drying removes most of the water content, leaving a lighter, more concentrated product that weighs considerably less per cup than its fresh equivalent.
