Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl combine the sour cream and baking soda together.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut in the butter using two knives scissor style or with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse peas in the flour mixture.
Add in the sour cream and beaten egg, gently mixing until it's almost together.
Once the mixture is this close to being completely combined, add in the chocolate chips. Mix gently again. Add in the cherries and mix gently until throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough together and roll it into one large log. Cut the log into three pieces. Flatten each round disk into a 6-inch circle that is about one inch thick, then cut into 6 equal triangles.
Take your 18 scones and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until the scones are light golden brown on the top and the bottom ( don't overbake them), approximately 20 minutes.
Remove and cool on a baking rack. Store in a closed container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months.

For both fresh or frozen cherries, chop and place on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture before adding to the dough.
