Alas my knowledge in the cherry area is somewhat limited. :-( I am not aware 
of any actual cherry varieties that  are being marketed today that may have 
been available to those living in the Middle Ages.

As for recipes, Cherioun comes to mind. I think it is in Two-Fifteenth 
Century Cookery Books, IIRC.
