Chop the cherries for the topping. Melt butter, sugar and honey in a large pan while stirring until lightly browned. Stir in cream and simmer for about 2 minutes. Add almonds and cherries, then simmer gently for another 3 minutes until thickened. Spread almond mixture over the dough, smooth it out and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (lower rack) for about 10–12 minutes.
