I have never heard of cherries in chilli. May have to give this a try. Sounds good.
What an interesting chili recipe, not just because of the cherries, but also the cilantro and black beans. I've not made chili with any of these ingredients before. I'm definitely going to try this. I've wanted chili for weeks now.
Oh, this is a NEW one to me! You know most recipes you have at some point or another seen one or tried one similar. I can't wait to try this one! Thank you for sharing.
I've been checking out the wide brim hat on ravelry. I think I am going to have to give it a go one of these days. That thing is just too cute. Do you have a project page? Yours is much cuter than the others I saw!! And, your idea with the flower just kicked it up to another level!! Great job!
Looks yummy! Now I want some chili and cornbread...
OK, I have to ask, is 1 cup of garlic correct?
Barb
Barb,
Thanks for catching that! It should read 1 Tablespoon garlic.
Best,
Susan
This meal would have been wonderful this week with the snow. Looks yummy!

Hi Susan, I love dried cherries - what an interesting twist. Do they retain their tartness or mellow with the cooking? Your previous post on your homemade bread looks wonderful! Stay warm, friend. ~Kim
A very interesting recipe! I would've never thought of adding cherries to chili! I clicked over to look at your sour cream cornbread recipe too. It is the same as the one I use... my favorite! For health reasons, I wish I could cut the fat a bit, but that's what makes it so good.
Oh yes, I must tell you that I experimented with the Artisan bread and tried half whole wheat flour... too heavy, it doesn't rise well but we've managed to eat it anyway :-)
I'm going to have to take some time soon and look over all your knitting projects. I'm between projects right now and need some inspiration.
Nothing better than chili on a cold winter's day, especially with cornbread! Can honestly say I have never had cherries in it tho!

I love this recipe and have made it several times. I'm making it again today.
