They do use candied cherries in Switzerland (and on this cske) but I think they aren’t those nasty maraschinos. They are harder and sugary, crinkly like dried fruit but glazed a bit.

Yes, glaceed fruit, the kind they use in fruitcakes. They're pretty, I like them, aren't the same as maraschinos (which I like in certain things), but I wouldn't want them (the fruitcake ones) in the Black Forest Cake. Actually I only like the glaceed or candied cherries in fruitcake; they look the prettiest in the slices. I don't long for it though even though they were a tradition in my family.

I hate that candied citron, the bright green stuff.
