Roughly chop the dried cherries into approximately 1/4" chunks.
Place in a microwave safe bowl and add the cherry juice or rum. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, then cover and let sit for 1 hour.
Toast the slivered almonds in a medium pan over medium heat, stirring frequently. The almonds should become a golden brown color but not burnt. Remove from heat and set aside.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Then, stir in the cherries with extra liquid, and almonds.
Use a #30 scoop (approx. 2 tbsp) to scoop 12 truffles onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle each truffle with flaky salt.
Let the truffles set for 1 hour before serving.
