I loved the idea of Rara's cherry ripe bites, but don't like glase cherries. These are a tweaked version inspired by Rara (thanks rara :-* :-*) Dried cherries claim to be a superfood and are very high in anti oxidants. We love them.
Dried cherry bites (inspired by Rara):
makes 26 small balls:
Method:
Blitz sugar in TM for 10secs, spd 10
Add almonds, and coconut 20secs, spd 10
Add dried cherries, 10 secs, spd 7
Add boiling water and mix until mixture comes together, 10-20 secs, spd 4
Roll into small ball shapes and place, on a tray lined with baking paper, in fridge for ½ an hour.
When ready to coat with chocolate break chocolate into pieces and grate 10secs, spd 8. Melt chocolate for 1-2minutes, 50oc, speed 3
Take cherry balls out of fridge and dip into melted chocolate, until covered (can use a toothpick or skewer for this). Place back onto tray and put in fridge until chocolate has set.
Ingredients:
20gm raw sugar
50gm raw almonds
50gm organic desiccated coconut
120gm pitted dried cherries
1 tbls boiling water
100gm organic chocolate (milk or dark)
Preparation:

Sounds great and I think versatile - you could swap cherries for any dried fruit or fruits - I'm thinking cranberries. Thanks ;)
