Stabilize it just in case. And my personal opinion is some of what people are looking for in a "fruit flavor" is the sweetness...which you just finished removing.

so, im lucky to live within a short drive to king orchards in michigan and was going to buy some frozen cherries but the lady there said that a lot of breweries use concentrate to do their meads. I've never made a mead yet but i'm highly considering trying this as my first recipe. Has anyone used concentrate for this recipe?

I have used both. The biggest advantages is the control you have over the taste. With whole fruit you have to live with what you put in, but with the concentrate you can mix to taste to some degree.
Also much less mess and wastage with lees.
Stay away from purée tho - so much mess.
