Instructions
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and wine in a large saucepan over low heat; stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Stir in cherries. Reduce heat to low, and cook 5 minutes or until cherries just begin to soften, stirring frequently.
Remove cherries from pan with a slotted spoon, reserving liquid in pan.
Place cherries in a bowl; stir in lemon juice. Arrange cherries in an even layer in bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.
Cook wine mixture over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup.
Remove from heat; drizzle over cherries in prepared pan.
Place almonds and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor; process until finely ground (do not process to a paste).
Place eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy; slowly add remaining 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar. Beat until thick and lemon-colored (about 2 minutes).
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
