    I have made this recipe many times, and I've never found someone who didn't like it. Also it's an impressive side dish if you want to create some buzz at a potluck!
    I usually substitute chicken stock for the chicken broth, then I don't need to add salt. Also, there's usually not enough cherry juice, so I supplement it with grape juice. I may have added a bit of brown sugar (to taste) when the raisins weren't doing the sweetening job.
    NOTE: If your raisins get swollen and soggy when you are using the leftovers, just pick them out and toss in some new ones. Stir & re-heat in the microwave = problem solved.
