Measuring ABV/Gravity with dried fruit

[meadnoob]

How do you measure starting/final gravity with dried fruit added, since the fruit doesn't add water? My next batch will use dried fruit (cherries) so no extra water will be added to dilute anything. If it's a brix thing, I don't know how to measure brix and any simple tips would be great. Thanks
