1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup chopped dried cherries
1 tablespon grated lemon rind
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir in cherries and 1 tablespoon lemon rind. Add whipping cream, stirring with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
