1 cup water |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
3/4 cup heavy cream (optional) |

1. Mix flour, baking powder, 1/2 t. orange zest, and the salt in mixing bowl. Pour in half-and-half and stir quickly to mix.
2. Combine cherries, 1 cup water, the sugar, orange juice, and remaining 1/2 t. orange zest in 10-inch skillet. Cover and heat to boiling.
