For Fire-Roasted Cherries:Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over half of coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover gill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Combine cherries and sugar in a deep 10-inch stainless steel skillet or a large, well-seasoned cast iron pan (new or poorly seasoned cast iron will impart a metallic flavor to the acidic fruit). Set skillet over the hot side of grill, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cherries are wilted, tender, and juicy; if cherries threaten to burn at any point, move skillet to cooler side of the grill and continue cooking there. Time will vary depending on the grill heat, so check often.
