So this recipe actually came from a language arts curriculum that I did a couple years ago but never got around to the baking it part. I wasn't sure that I would like them because, I'm not a cherry person but they where actually way better then I anticipated! Make sure to keep stirring the cherry mixture because mine severely burned the bottom of the pot. And instead of water I used mostly the juice from the canned cherries and only a splash of water. I really enjoyed enjoyed making these!
