      Hello Paula, In my quest for cooking around the world, I source multiple recipes most of which are similar or identical before choosing one to cook and post to represent the country. It therefore makes it nearly impossible to give credit for a particular recipe as the original source. If you know of the original source I will gladly give credit where it is do. I do see that there is a similar recipe and story regarding a grandmothers recipe on allrecipes.com but it does not contain cherries.
