Roast cherries tossed with brown sugar and stir in vanilla seeds for a fruity, sweet topping for Greek yogurt. Roasting the cherries caramelizes them, which intensifies their flavor. It also changes the texture of the cherries, making them chewier. It makes an excellent dessert or tasty breakfast dish. When selecting cherries at the grocery store, look for cherries with green stems that are firm. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to use. They can lose quality quickly at room temperature so put them in the refrigerator as soon as you get them home from the store.
