The recipe says serve with sweet cream butter or fromage blanc, but they're great plain.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup red sour dried cherries, pitted
boiling water
2 cups unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon, zest of
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit.
2. Soak dried cherries in boiling water for at least 5 minutes (I chop each cherry in half first), drain and pat dry.
3. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a medium bowl, mix well with a fork.
4. Add cherries and lemon zest, mix, then stir in cream until dough starts to mass in the center of bowl.
5. Divide in half, and transfer each half to a floured board, and lightly knead 3-4 tiumes.
6. Pat in to a circle at least 1 inch thick, and cut each loaf into six wedges.
7. Place wedges on ungreased cookie sheet, and brush with butter.
8. Bake for 12 minutes.
