I happened to add 2 kg of local fried cherries of late, and I was about to make my usual tried and true beef stew which I love, but felt the addition of cherries would improve it.. So I made my stew, using this recipe as a blueprint, and the results were quite excellent. Thanks Mia for posting this. I will look at the rest of your recipes now that I've used this one. :)

I really recommend this dish. It's super tasty and the tender and juicy meat is irresistible.<br/>I prepared this with the suggested grounded spiced and rosated the meat with it. The smell was amazing. I used frozen light red cherries with sour cherries similar taste which are not too sweet. I collected the juices as used in the recipe as described.<br/>Delicious meal, will make it again!

Yum yum! I didn't have the sour cherries, so I substituted dried cherries soaked in hot water. Other than that, I followed the recipe. I loved the combination of meat and fruit. Very, very good. I highly reccomend it!
