Looking for pie cherry recipes

[Guest guest]

I just picked a large amount of sour pie cherries and don't want to

make the usual baked goods. I'm trying to transition to a raw diet,

but I haven't been able to find any recipes on the internet for these

kind of cherries. I'm up for making almost anything that fits the raw

lifestyle ... drinks, smoothies, deserts, salads. I don't own a

dehydrator yet ... but I have a Vitamix and a good food processor. My

oven does operate at as low as 100 degrees F and we're in for a mess

of sunshine -- so if given the instructions on how to dry without

specialized equipment, I'd give it a shot also. I'd like to get

started asap ... please help me go RAW! Thanks for any help you can

offer.

Hi Mary,

 

I'm not into sour cherries myself. If it were me, to sweeten them up, I

would pit them and puree them with mango and maybe pineapple (and maybe fresh

blueberries, because those will help the filling to hold together and firm up),

before pouring them into a pie crust made of walnuts and some dates mixed

together in a food processor. I might add some cinnamon to the crust and a

pinch of Celtic salt. And maybe some orange zest.
