Can I make spotted dick with cherries?

[BibiThree]

Just saw Phil Vickery making the most delicious looking spotted sick, BUT I can't eat sultanas. They revolt me. Would cherries make a terrible alternative? Hopeful

I've no idea how it would work, but I'm sure if it did work it would be lovely I think the flavours would go really nicely.

You would maybe need to adjust the liquid content a little to reflect the fact that cherries are wetter than sultanas.

I think you should have a go.

Shame is, dh hates any type of cakey-nonsense so will have to eat it all myself if it's a success

will try tomorrow and let you know how it went. I could be starting something here!

waitrose do some very nice dried cherries. sounds lovely.

But it will reheat very well so it won't matter if you can't eat it all in one go.

spotted sick is the best typo i have seen in ages!
(sorry, no idea how to make it or variations on it, but you made me smile.)

ha ha, didn't spot that one

glad i brought a smile to your day though!
