Montmorency Dried Tart Cherries
From Michigan Cherry Growers
 Dried cherries are a delicious and easy way to enjoy the goodness of Michigan tart cherries. This tangy, flavorful product makes great snacks. They're also delicious additions to recipes.
Many of our customers enjoy tossing the dried cherries in their morning oatmeal, a cup of yogurt or cereal, on salads, or as a refreshing alternative to raisins in their favorite recipes. "What raisins should be and aren't," is how one of our customers referred to our dried cherries.
We now offer our dried tart cherries in three varieties:
Traditional - infused with sugar prior to drying
Unsweetened - no sugar added, just lightly coated with sunflower oil
Chocolate Covered - traditional dried cherries coated in smooth milk chocolate make an irresistible treat.
