If you are using frozen cherries, remove 6 cups, give a quick rinse with cold water, and add them to a large mixing bowl to thaw or if using fresh cherries, rinse, remove pits and place in a large bowl. Once cherries have almost thawed, drain any excess water. Next, add both sugars, lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again and pour into the prepared baking dish.
