Notes[]
Gluten in oats: There is evidence that some celiacs can tolerate small amounts of the type of gluten found in Oats. While research continues they should only be included in the celiac diet under medical and dietary supervision. If you cannot find dried sour cherries, you can use any other dried fruit to your liking.
