Tips:

- Pit the cherries before cooking. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to remove the pits.
- If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a straw to remove the pits. Simply insert the straw into the cherry and push down on the pit. The pit will pop out the other end of the straw.
- Be careful not to overcook the cherries. They should be cooked until they are soft, but still hold their shape.
- Serve cherry delight chilled or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of yogurt.
