My girlfriend Gayle D. gave me this recipe a few days ago and I had to try it. This is so good. We could not wait for it to cool so we sampled while warm. YUM. It is great cold (as intended) too. It has the sweet with the tart from the cherries. Love that combo. Next time I am going to try it with Apple or maybe Lemon. Super easy and super delicious.
