well, I have this recipe a friend gave me along time ago from 
Sallets, Humbles and Shrewsberry Cakes by R A Beeke, and I think 
somewhere in De Platina there's one for cherry tart. I only have 
excerpts from it, will see what I can find.

Strawberry Tart
1 quart strawberries ( wash , drain and de-stem)
1/2 cup full bodied red wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp each ginger and cinnamon
1 T cornstarch
1 backed pie shell

whipped cream

in a saucepan, heat the sugar wine ginger and cinnamon. Dissolve the 
cornstarche in just enough wine to make a smooth paste, then add to 
the saucepan and bring to a boil, stir constantly. Simmer about 3 
minutes or until the sauce thickens. Arrange the berries inthe pie 
shell and pour the syrup over, Chill thoroughly, serve with whipped 
cream.

Not sure of the accuracy of the source ( can anyone tell me?) but I 
can vouch for the tart, it's tasty!
