These rolls are a wonderful combination of sweet and tart, fluffy and chewy. The sourdough starter gives them a slightly tangy flavor, while the cherries and chocolate chips add a touch of tart and sweet. This recipe is loosely based on one I found in the Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes. While the original …
I intended to create a festive cranberry-pistachio biscotti combo last Christmas but ran out of time. Twelve months later, I finally did it!

Sweetened primarily with apple juice, these 5-ingredient treats are all natural and packed with fruit, fiber, nuts and flavor. They are easy to mix and bake, and you don’t have to “sacrifice” your favorite homemade granola as a main ingredient.
