Cherry Dessert Hummus

Here's a fun recipe for a sweet hummus from PCRM. I had never thought of this before, and it sounds quite good. Cannot wait to make it sometime soon!

Cherry Dessert Hummus

Makes 2 servings

6 ounces cooked pinto beans
3 ounces fresh sweet cherries
1 tablespoon maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Remove cherry pits before roughly chopping. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or powerful blender and puree. Refrigerate overnight to better meld the flavors.
