Preheat oven to 375°F.

Butter a 2 quart baking dish.

In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, and salt.

Using a pastry blender, work butter into flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse meal.

Add oats and mix until large clumps form.

In a large bowl, toss cherries with the chocolate chips, sugar, and remaining 3 tablespoons flour.

Place mixture in the 2 quart baking dish and sprinkle with the topping.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

*I tend to squash the cherries some to make sure there are no pits accidentally remaining inside of them.*
