 Combine cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice,
 arrowroot, almond extract, grated lemon zest and
 cinnamon together in a sauce pan and cook over low
 heat, stirring occasionally until mixture simmers,
 about 4 - 5 minutes. Pour into a lightly buttered 2
 quart baking dish.

 In a food processor or mixer, add flour, remaining
 sugar, baking powder and salt and pulse 2 or 3 times
 to mix. Add butter and pulse until just combined but
 still crumbly. Add cream, egg, vanilla and pulse again
 just to combine and form a smooth batter.

 Drop batter by heaping teaspoons on top of cherry
 mixture, leaving space in between. Sprinkle almonds
 over and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20
 minutes or until top is lightly browned and cherry
 mixture is bubbling. Serve warm or at room temperature
 with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or slightly sweetened
 whipped cream.

 Yield: 5-6 servings
