Sounds like an easy recipe, however for those of us who hate canned cherries, we could use a fresher option. And, Splenda is a toxic substance that damages the liver and other organs, so anyone using Splenda is going to destroy her health!! With that in mind, I have to rate this low. Moderator comment: You could use an alternative sweetener of choice and frozen or fresh cherries but would require creating a sauce and cooling.
