What would happen if....?

What would the result be like if I used cherries that an imperial stout sat on in another batch of brew? The cherries still have flavor after a month in secondary and I hate to just throw them away. Its either use them in another brew somehow or make a (black forest-type) cake.

Put them on some vanilla ice cream.

With cherry stout black forest cake!!

Oooh cook them down and make jam or a syrup for ice cream.

I'd personally go with the cake!

The cherries will most likely flavor your next beer with the cherry flavor and flavors from your stout. As long as they've been properly handled they shouldn't cause any problems.

I'd cook with them. It's not likely they'd still contribute any fresh flavors to any beers, and more than likely carry over the flavors from the previous batch, and not necessarily in a good way, but may contribute a lot of flavors to a cake, or some other dish.
