Have used the recipe twice, once as described, using sour cherries entirely. Will be a great condiment for fowl. The second I substitued fresh and dried ground ginger for the allspice. Equally good and distinctive.

Really good. I used golden raisins, added some candied ginger and then added a little brandy as it finished cooking. I'll freeze it so I didn't worry about changing the recipe for canning. Now I need to buy a cherry pitter to make it again.
