I had 3 lb. of frozen sour cherries from last summer so I made this recipe to enjoy while we were picking this year’s crop from the same tree. The recipe was okay but not great. I am not sure that basil is the right herb to use with sour cherries. This wasn’t terrible, but I can’t say that I would recommend.
