Dried Cherries. Dont mind if I do!

My mom has a huge cherry tree. I tried to pick as many as I could before the rain came along and split them all.. I decided to try and dry them to see if they were half as amazing as the dried cherries I buy at Costco. (for an obscene amount of $$$)
 
I sliced them in half to get the pits out. Then I soaked them in water with a tsp of citric acid to help preserve them. Then I placed them on the food dehydrator and let them dry for 2 and a half days until they were the right "chewiness". So. It was a decent amount of work for a small amount of yield.
 
but.
 
they are delish. And with no added sugar. win! Try it. You'll like it. What fruit do you like dried?
