Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries and mixed berries for the best flavor. If using frozen, thaw them before using.
  • Be sure to soak the dried fruit in hot water for at least 15 minutes before using. This will help to plump them up and make them softer.
  • If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a fine grater to zest the orange and lemon.
  • Be sure not to over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the buns tough.
  • Allow the buns to rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the buns at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
