The same one as you.  1929, Dionisio Perez, reprint of the 1529.  I've just 
been posting without checking my sources, which is inexcusable.  I are 
edjumacated; I should know better. I apologize.

And I've got cousins in Colombia.  I guess I shouldn't go into why 
Argentines look up during thunderstorms, then? ;)

Here it is:

An Electuary of Sour Cherries for Invalids who Have Lost the Desire to Eat

Take as many sour cherries as you wish and put them in a pot on the fire and 
add just enough water, and let them cook in this water until they become 
very tender and appear to be white; and then throw out the water in which 
they have cooked; and then take a coarse sieve of bristles, which you can 
strain them with and rub them with your hands until they have all passed 
through.  Then take for each pound of these sour cherries, prepared in this 
way, half a pound of sugar and mix it in its pot over a low fire; stirring 
constantly with a piece of cane until it is cooked; and then take it off and 
put this electuary in a glazed jar with a good cover; you can add some 
cloves and a little cinnamon to it.

No doubt your husband would beg to differ!
