Has anyone tried substituting cherries for oranges in Joe's Ancient Orange recipe? I've tried many searches on the forum; however, I can't find anyone who has attempted cherries.
Cherry JAO or JAC???

I've tried a number of variations on JAO (blackberry, tangelo, grapefruit, blood orange, lemon, cranberry, date, black raspberry, black currant, oriental crabapple, and playing with the spices), but not cherries... If you do, I'd recommend using sour pie cherries rather than the sweet ones, so far in my experiences I've found sweet eating cherries lend a wine lovely colour and little to no flavour...
Interesting, I've read as much about that on several threads so, I have prepped about 4 pounds of sweet cherries, but am having an issue finding six pounds of fresh tart cherries, or even frozen ones. The Oregon puree and others all seem to be sweet cherries as well.
I'm in the same boat, the nearest Trader Joe's is about 120 miles from me, not to mention the price for these online.
