My grandfather was an excellent baker and would make this recipe on special occasions. He received this recipe from his mother. He passed away 3 years ago at the age of 97. Enjoy this simply wonderful cherry dessert. Best if served warm.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
