Cherries are packed with nuitrition~~so, how do you get all that goodness into your diet on a more regular basis than just when the cherries are in season and when you have to spend time pitting those cherries.  It’s a no-brainer for me~~I turn to Dole’s dark red cherries, frozen & pitted & boholicious!

My dear Croatian Mom was ‘green’ and ‘healthy’ long before it became vogue and chic~~growing up during the Depression you were resourceful, re-cycled and ate unprocessed and healthy foods.  One of her favorite fruits was the cherry, and when they were in season, she couldn’t get enough of them!  I know if these frozen cherries had been in the grocery store, she’d have gobbled them up~~straight or maybe she’d have popped a few in her whiskey sour totty!

Serves: 6+

Preheat Oven to 425

What you need:

3 lbs country style boneless beef ribs

1 ½ cups flour

2 tsp sea salt

2 tsp paprika

2 tsp granulated garlic

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp minced onions

4 tbl butter

¼ cup canola oil

Dark Cherry Sauce Recipe~~click here~

What you do:

Combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic, pepper and minced onions in a large plastic bag.  Put 3 pieces of the beef in at a time and dredge completely in the flour.  Shake off excess and put on a plate.  Repeat with all the beef.

In a large heavy skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Put the floured beef in and brown on all sides.  Slowly add about 3 cups of water while blending to make a gravy.

Cover the skillet with doubled foil, a lid and place in a preheated 425 oven for one hour.  Add  1 ½ cups of the Dark Cherry Sauce and blend in.  Recover and cook another 1.5 hours or until fork pull-apart tender.  Check occasionally to see if water is needed.
