Pit the cherries and cut into small pieces. Collect the juice.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (approximately 350°F) for 15 minutes. Remove the baking beans and paper, fill with the cherry mixture, smooth the surface and bake for another 25-30 minutes.
Let cool, cut into pieces and serve garnished with cherries.
