I created this recipe when I lived in Michigan because I was looking for a way to use the delicious cherries when in season. One of the richest sources of melatonin (an important hormone that regulates sleep/wake cycles) is the Montmorency cherry, found mostly in Michigan and Wisconsin. Pretty cool!
