About

While working on the recipes for this book, we discovered the marvelous dried pitted cherries from Michigan. They are available at specialty food stores and are so good that we think they’ll be found all over the country soon. Here we’ve used them in a chutney spiced with fresh ginger and red pepper. This is a great alternative to cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving.
