1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

  • NOTE: This dough freezes well.
  • Wrap rolls tightly and place in plastic freezer bags or foil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries will give your cherry slices the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Pit the cherries: Before you can slice the cherries, you need to pit them. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
  • Slice the cherries thinly: The thinner you slice the cherries, the more surface area they will have, which will allow them to absorb more of the syrup.
  • Use a good quality syrup: The syrup is what will give your cherry slices their flavor, so it's important to use a good quality syrup. You can use a store-bought syrup or make your own. If you are making your own syrup, be sure to use a sugar that will not crystallize, such as corn syrup or agave nectar.
  • Cook the cherry slices until they are translucent: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have absorbed the syrup.
  • Let the cherry slices cool completely: Once the cherry slices are cooked, let them cool completely before you store them. This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Cherry slices are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be eaten on their own, added to desserts, or used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own cherry slices at home.
