    Combine cherries, brown sugar, and almonds in a large nonstick skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until brown sugar melts and cherries and almonds are coated, about 6 minutes. Stir in brown rice, wild rice, celery, orange juice, red wine vinegar, and orange zest; cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 5 minutes.



    Cook's Note:

    Substitute frozen cherries for fresh cherries if desired.
