Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
2
In a large microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and chopped unsweetened chocolate together. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until well combined. Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
5
Gently fold in the dried tart cherries. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Do not overbake for fudgy brownies. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh cherries instead of dried?

Fresh cherries contain a lot of moisture and can make the brownies soggy. If you wish to use them, ensure they are pitted and very well drained, perhaps even lightly floured, but dried cherries are recommended for texture and flavor concentration.

How do I ensure my brownies are fudgy and not cakey?

The key to fudgy brownies is not to overmix the batter once the flour is added, and most importantly, not to overbake them. Take them out when a toothpick still has moist crumbs attached, rather than coming out completely clean.

How should I store these brownies?

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
