Nanking Cherries - freezing pie filling?

I am very impressed with my Nanking Cherries! They are fantastic raw (sweet-tart), but I would like to make a cherry pie from them for someone special. Unfortunately, the Nanking cherries are ready now (and at constant risk from the catbird) and he is not at my house.

How can I preserve the cherries to make a pie later? Can I make the filling now and freeze it? (and, no, I've never made a cherry pie before :) ). Does anyone have a suitable recipe? I like their slight tartness and my mother says tart cherries make the best pies.

I've also read here that some people find Nanking cherries very small, the size of currants. Either my currant are really tiny or my cherries are large. Which one is it?

Thank you for any help!
