About

I love dried cherries, and I must confess that half the fun is serving something as simple as poached dried fruit. Serve this atop one of your brownie favorites. Remember the mantra when it comes to cooking with wine . . . if it’s not good enough to drink, it’s not good enough to use for cooking!
