Miss Marple Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Would you still use cinnamon and nutmeg as the spice as you do with raisins? I had dried cherries and wanted to make something a little bit different - what do you all think? Different spice? If so, what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I put almond extract and a touch of cinnamon in my cherry pies. I wouldn't put nutmeg for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I think I'd keep the nutmeg and add almond extract. I'd probably skip the cinnamon because it would just be a distraction. Those are my thoughts anyway. Haaa, I love nutmeg with cherries. Oh well. To each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought about what to put in with cherries, but almonds sounds exactly perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Almond extract is just the ticket! I use cinnamon in my dried cherry/oatmeal cookies and find the spice to be compatible with the fruit. Yum--Dried cherries are one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
