  1. For Filling: In large saucepan, stir together water and cornstarch. Add cherries, sugar, lemon peel and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, stirring, until mixture thickens and become clear. Transfer fruit mixture to shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish; set aside.

Add cream to dry ingredients; mix with fork until mixture begins to hold together. Transfer to lightly floured surface; knead 10 times or until smooth dough forms. Roll or pat out to 3/4-inch thick circle.

  4. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until biscuits are browned and fruit is bubbling. Cool slightly before serving.
