When it comes to zest I usually add a bit extra [also added dried cherries instead of raisins, & that from someone who LOVES raisins!], but other than that, I followed this recipe right down the line, & came up with very tasty cherry bites made especially for the month of February!! They couldn't be better! Many thanks!
