Something else to add to my oatmeal. I add raisins to the oats when I cook them, but decided against adding these in the same manner, same with the dried cherries. Cooking either of those two dried fruits renders the oats a visually unpalatable appearance; this can be easily avoided by adding them to the oatmeal AFTER it's through cooking. Both fruits are tender and juicy enough their texture is quite good. Raisins, on the other hand, need the plumping that cooking allows.
