Cherries were a big part of my summers in Afghanistan. We received boxes of fresh cherries from relatives’ orchards which we ate fresh, made into a sweet, thick syrup for cherry juice and cooked to make cherry jam.

This recipe includes three of my favorite ingredients:  yogurt, cherries, and garlic.  Many of you may cringe at the thought of mixing garlic with cherries and yogurt, but it's really delicious. Since cherry season is upon us I thought I would share this recipe.
