~Food Fact
Cooking with fruit.
Ryan has been on a mango kick, so I always have one or two on hand these days. I've been using the dried cherries in a lot of recipes lately, and there was the pineapple... The strawberries were a gamble, I wasn't sure, but they were sitting in the 'fridge, and needed to be eaten soon, so I decided to add them to the mix. It was a good choice!
