morrello cherry and icing

Have you tried Trader Joe’s morrello cherries? If not, you should probably head to your nearest TJ’s and get a jar. They are yummerific! I used the juice from the jar to make icing for a scone recipe using the cherries and this morning I put it in the om of the day. How sweet is that?

Ingredients:

1 C cooked oatmeal
2 T morrello cherry icing
1/4 C morrello cherries

Directions: To make the cherry icing I mixed a little bit of powdered sugar with the juice from the container of cherries. I just put a little in at a time until the consistency and color are to my liking…
Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

mOMent: Life is just a bowl of cherries…what does that even mean?

pecan, dried cherry, dried pomegranate & (honey)

I say (honey) because many people who choose not to eat animal derived ingredients will not use honey.  So, for those people I encourage the use of brown rice syrup and/or agave as substitutes.  I love this combination of flavors, it’s a very wholesome taste.

Ingredients:
1 C cooked oatmeal
2 T dried Trader Joe’s pomegranate seeds
1 T pecans, chopped
1-2 T dried cherries
1-3 t honey, agave or brown rice syrup

Directions: Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!
