Like the 'non baking cookie' posts i recognize this recipe from my
youth. But now that we have got the OP's question addressed, let us
turn to the 'strudels' of Austria for which a cherry filling is common.
There is also the sponge cake with cherries "Bublanina."

I have a recipe for Linzer torte made with raspberry jam (1 & 1/2 cups)
and i see no reason why canned or fresh cherries could not be used. I
like a tart or slightly sour black cherry.
