This was greatly enjoyed !! I was not sure if it turned out correctly as I was not sure what to expect. It was a little like a dump cake. I used fresh cherries and pitted them by hand which is always a pain in the neck but a necessity.

Awesome cherry cobbler/pudding!!! I was very fortunate to find some imported pitted tart cherries and purchased two jars (so happy that I'll have one more jar so I can make this again). It is so easy to make and so delicious. I did not use as much sugar on the cherries because they were packed in juice which was slightly sweet. Turned out so yummy - too bad it won't last long at my house.
