What to do w/ frozen cherries?

[cjcouple]

My MIL gave me a huge 2 lb bag of frozen cherries.

I saw an interesting glaze for salmon online but it doesnt use many. Any other ideas on recipes?

I don't really drink smoothies and I'm avoiding desserts!

Cherry gastrique? Duck a la cerise? Cherry scones? Chocolate covered cherries for a treat gift? What about drying them, throwing them in a trail mix?

Pu them in an açaí bowl or on oatmeal?

I prep breakfasts with plain Greek yogurt and frozen cherries. As they thaw, the juice helps sweeten the yogurt. In the morning, I add granola or whatever other toppings (sometimes mini chocolate chips or coconut flakes, whatever you want). It's a good high protein on the go breakfast.

You can make cherry jam. Either you can use the chia seed method (google) or Pomona pectin allows you to use sugar substitutes & will still jell. You don’t need to properly can either; with the chia just scale down recipe to what you’d use soon & with the Pomona I’ve just frozen in containers after it’s cooled

This cherry bbq sauce is so good! We eat it on steak and chicken. You can obviously sub in standard ingredients, like soy sauce instead of coconut aminos. I usually do. We don’t keep paleo.

Watch the first 18 minutes or so of the latest episode of Top Chef. The Quickfire's featured ingredient was cherries!

Ice cream!

Like else suggested, try adding them while still frozen to plain Greek yogurt. It is so good when they are mostly thawed. The only other thing I do is add a very small amount of instant vanilla pudding mix for some flavoring. I’ve tried doing the same thing with frozen berries and I never like it as much as with cherries. I buy the big frozen bags of them from Costco.

My usual breakfast is berries over plain or vanilla greek yogurt with either granola or grape nuts cereal on top, so that's what I'd use them for.  Frozen cherries make a fine sub.

I do have an ice cream maker I barely use! The boys might like that. It's a cuisinart ans with my kohl's cash, clearance and a return I paid $8 haha

I'm definitely trying it on my yogurt. I just bought a tub of plan greek yogurt yesterday!

We make this pork with cherry salsa on the grill in the summer. It doesn't actually need fresh cherries (we've used home canned before). I always double it because it's the best part.

My SIL also threw some frozen cherries into her fruit salad for Easter and that was way better than soggy canned maraschinos.

Put them in smoothies.

We use frozen cherries for clafoutis

The recipe we use is out of a paper cookbook, but here is a different one:

I just ate frozen cherries in my smoothie. I use a banana, frozen cherries, blueberries and unweetened almond milk. I sometimes add chia seeds or fiber. Delicious.
