Summer Pudding is a traditional English dessert, and this is the nearest. I am English and have made this many times, I would use Strawberries, not cherries. But its all down to what you like! I also save some of the juice, because when you turn it out there maybe some white patches left in the bread, then you can just pour it over them. A lovely fresh dessert, that's not to sweet.
