Lon is big on the cider vinegar too! EMC, dried cranberries would be great, and raisins would work too. Lon is big on the cider vinegar too!

Awesome idea! I'm guessing dried cranberries would be a likely sub and I'll eat anything that can be made with cider vinegar, so this is a double yay!

My kids go through stages of only wanting to eat either the stems or the trees--not both. :) I always cook the broccoli stems along with the florets.

They are so tasty simply steamed or boiled with a sprinkling of salt - the salt brings out the natural sweetness of the stems. I love the florets as well, but the stems can hold their own just as well. I have to say that I'm not a fan of raw broccoli, but this recipe is enticing! aww it makes me sad to see broccoli stems go to waste as well.

It drives me crazy to see people throw out the stems because 1) I hate wasting anything and 2) I hate broccoli florets (well okay maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I certainly like the stems better). Love the combo you've created with the dried cherries. Will have to try this soon. Ahhhh!!! brilliant!!!
