The wild cherries aren't very tasty when raw, but they do cook up into a beautiful, tasty jam and do not seem to require a lot of sugar.  Do make sure they are fully ripe.  They shouild practically fall off when you touch them.  Not all on one stem will necessarily be the same ripeness at the same time.  If I have to tug to get one off, I leave it.  The birds need some, too!
