@Paul-Voth I’d consider using them as dehydrated? The reason being that they are packed with juice (obviously) and that might make cook times really long, they will rehydrate in the meat a little and wont slow down your cook as much. I wouldn’t grind themas they have a pretty low pH depending on when they are picked, between 4-5 so it might denature your proteins if too much is introduced.

Jonathon Freeze Dried, they don’t have sugar added to them and burst with flavor. Plus they break up easier without grinding
