Personal Notes:
This is one of the best and easiest things to do with beautiful cherries. The flavors are wonderful with the fresh basil. Your guests will think you went to so much trouble....so easy!

Note: This could be served over Ricotta, very good.
I have used frozen sweet cherries with this and it really did work fine, not quite the same but definitely good. You can use other fruits as well or a combination of fruit.
