Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
- 1 cup dried cherries (I used dried sweetened tart cherries; see notes if you use dried sweet cherries)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Lightly spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the almond, cherries, and salt. Process or pulse on high for 30-45 seconds.
- Add the water and pulse again until the ingredients are well combined with no large pieces.
- Use a rubber spatula to transfer the mixture to the baking dish, using the spatula to smooth the top.
- Cover the baking dish and refrigerate the bars for 6-12 hours. Then, use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled for more servings.
- You can use dried sweet cherries instead of dried tart cherries, if you prefer. Many brands of dried sweet cherries are unsweetened if you want to avoid added sugars.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
