Hi Barbara- If you use fresh cherries, you will be adding some moisture to the scones that wasn't initially in there. I would recommend sticking to the dry cherries. If you do choose to experiment and add the fresh cherries, I would make sure to chop them up and also drain them on a paper towel for a little while before using them and to be careful when you incorporate them into the dough that you don't break them apart. I hope you enjoy the scones, whichever way you decide to go (I know they were one of my favorites in recent memory from the test kitchen)...Happy Baking! Jocelyn@KAF
