These are 2 of my favorite things. I have a great supplier too. Does anyone have any ideas on how to incorporate it more? I use the dried peaches (OH SO YUMMY) and cranberrys in my oatmeal. Any of y'all have any good recepies for useing dried fruits?

Unfortunately dried fruits are terrible for a diet, much more calorically dense. For example, 2 cups of grapes contain about 100 calories, 2 cups of raisins (dried grapes) might contain nearly 800. This is because the raisins have had most of their water and air content removed, concentrating their calories into a much smaller volume.
