Note

For best results, use fresh veal if possible, but high-quality canned or frozen cutlets work well for convenience.

If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can pulse the cherries in a food processor before adding them to the pan.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to prevent the meat from drying out.

This dish pairs beautifully with spätzle, mashed potatoes, or braised red cabbage.
