Absolutely delicious. Just as an experiment I did a few substitutes, I used minced garlic instead of garlic salt, and used brown sugar instead of the dried cherries, (only because I didn't have the other ingredients). Even my "picky eater" grandchildren loved them. Everyone went back for second helpings. Will definetly make this again.
