Sugar-free Hungarian Cherry Dessert

A Hungarian dessert traditionally made with sour cherries, this recipe uses sweet cherries because the sugar in the recipe was omitted. The end result is quite different as sour or tart cherries have their own special quality, but it's a delicious, refreshing dessert all the same.
