I just did a more extensive search for cherries in the fruits-msg file. Most
of the info is general info about period cherries. The recipes tend to be
for marmalades, dried cherries, sugared cherries and such. I think part of
the problem may lay with my problems in how to organise the original
messages. In most cases, I have organised things by the most obvious
ingredient. In the case of a meat and cherry dish, I would most likely file
that in one of my meat files and not the fruits-msg file since the cherry
is more of a granish in that recipe. I must have missed the fact that
you were looking for a recipe with both meat and cherries. Or I felt that
the referances to which cherries were period might be of use. I think
originally you were asking simply if cherries were period.

One way to search a file like this is to download it in text or RTF
format, save it, and open it with a word processor where you can do
a search on "cher" (to get both "cherry" and "cherries"). This is 
what I did originally and just now, except I didn't have to download
it since I used my master copy already on my machine.
