Absolutely delicious! I had dried cherries but no cherry jam so I used Black Raspberry/Blackberry jam instead. It worked very well with the dried cherries.

The dried cherries were great in the oatmeal but the oatmeal was bland if you didn't have a cherry in every bite you took. I would still make it agian. I used fruit only spread so maybe more sugar would have made it taste better.

Excellent. It's hard to find recipes to vary up the morning oatmeal. I thought this was great. I never thought to add jam to the oatmeal. I always use sugar or maybe maple syrup. I also bought a bag of dried cherries from my Sam's Club and tried them for the first time. Pretty good. They make a nice snack, too. Thanks Ellie for keeping us healthy with your recipes!
