Dough is the same as for apple strudel.

FILLING:

1 1/2 lb. or 2 lbs. cherries, dark ones
3 oz. butter
3/4 c. bread crumbs
3/4 c. sugar

Melt butter and add bread crumbs. Brown, turning constantly because they burn easily. Sprinkle some melted butter on top of dough. Add the browned bread crumbs and put the cherries on top. Leave at least a band of 5 inches with no filling. Add sugar and roll dough up. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 40 minutes. Do not forget to butter the top of the strudel. Sprinkle powdered sugar over it.
