Render the diced pancetta until browned. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herbs and saute until cooked in the fat. Add the cherries and heat, then the herb and stock. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour it all over the cornbread in a bowl and mix. Taste and re-season. Pour a beaten egg over the mixture and toss with the egg. Cover with foil and heat in an oven for 30 min.

Alternately, cool the whole mixture after you add the egg and stuff your turkey or chicken with it!
