I used apple juice, butter and brown sugar to make that glaze by boiling it for about 10 minutes. After it had cooked down to a syrup, I poured it over the cherries inside pineapple rings which I laid in the bottom of the dutch oven. The top of the cake took on a crunch on the outsides and top being cooked in it. I used a regular yellow cake mix, which really is hard to beat so why make that part by scratch? I'm all for making it easy.

"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
