Dried Cherry Chili

This recipe, which I haven't made yet, comes from the Cherry Marketing Institute and is loaded with antioxidants. They recommend that you garnish with corn strips, red onion and avocado. It could be made vegetarian, and I'd like to try it with beef. I would increase the spices, too.
