What kind of cherries? Sweet or tart? generally you want tart cherries for beer, just because they have a lot more flavor per cherry. That said, you can still use sweet cherries, but the flavor won't be as pronounced.

I don't really have a recipe but some sort of Belgian style Christmas ale with cherries sounds good to me, something on the darker end of the spectrum, maybe similar to a dubbel or quad.

@MuteDog sweet ones, that's just what I have. I was asking more about the usage - where to put it in the process in fermenter, to the boil (as I found someone do it with concentrate)

definitely put them into the fermentor, you don't really want cooked cherry flavor in a beer, IMO

but I'd do it on secondary

that's also fine, if you're using a secondary
