Dried Cornelian Cherries

Dried Cornelian Cherries: The Wild Fruit in Dried Form

Dried cornelian cherries are the dried form of the cornelian cherry, a wild fruit. When chewed, their deep red, slightly wrinkled berries leave an intense flavor that swings between sour and sweet. They can be eaten on their own as a snack and are also frequently used in stewed fruit drinks, compotes and desserts; they add color to nut platters, too.

Tufan Organik offers dried cornelian cherries in its dried fruit range to bring the taste of this short-season wild fruit to the table all year round. Soaked in lukewarm water for a while, they soften and can easily be added to pastries, pilafs or meat dishes. Mixed with walnuts and hazelnuts, they make a colorful snack platter.

Serving Suggestions

• Simmer dried cornelian cherries with cloves and cinnamon to make a tangy stewed fruit drink.
• Add chopped dried cornelian cherries to spiced rice pilaf instead of currants.
• Sprinkle walnuts and dried cornelian cherries over yogurt to prepare a breakfast bowl.
