Good recipes to use up whole dried unsweetened Bing Cherries and whole almonds

Hi! I'm cleaning out my pantry. I originally bought the above items to eat plain as snacks but I have found myself not reaching them. Anyone have good recipes for these? I was thinking of some variety of oven candied Almond but I'm not sure what to do with the Cherries........ Maybe some type of cookie? Please advise!

PS: in exchange I can offer some recipes from my personal recipe box if you tell me what sort of thing you like!
