   Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each half into a 12 inch log on a sheet of waxed paper. Arrange 17 candied cherries side by side on top of each log and press them into the log until the cherries are centered. Mold the dough around the cherries. Sprinkle the outside evenly with the chopped walnuts. Wrap the dough in the waxed paper and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
