I picked up these cherries at the store the other day. We've been eating them plain but last night I got a hankering to try something different. I'm dieting and was wanting a little something sweet so I melted a little butter in a saucepan (about 1 teaspoon) and added 1 cup of pitted cherries, about 2 teaspoons of Splenda brown sugar and a pinch of salt. I cooked it just long enough to warm the cherries and make a glaze.
It turned out pretty well, just enough sweet to calm the craving. But the thing that I thought would be best--eat it on oatmeal. Tomorrow I'm going to make it again and add it to a bowl of oatmeal. Cherry Oatmeal Deluxe. Yum.
It'd also be good with plain yogurt and topped with granola.
Thought I'd share the idea with you all. I'm linking up with Rednesday since Sue does love cherries. =)

Cherries in oatmeal? Why not? Sounds delicious!
PRAISE FOR RED
What is there about the color red
That makes me want to stand on my head,
And give a loud shout or two of praise
For crimson tints that brighten my days?

I enjoyed reading your Friday Lessons in the Desert - preach it, Sister! (I bet it was a cherry tree that was thrown in the water, lol!)
