Preheat oven to 375°F If using frozen cherries, defrost and drain. In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough into a 18x12-inch rectangle. Transfer to a 15x10x1-inch rimmed baking sheet. (pastry will hang over sides of pan). Pour cherry mixture into lined baking sheet; set aside.

Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until just warm to the touch, about 45 minutes.
In a medium bowl, stir together confectioners sugar and milk until desired glaze consistency is achieved. Use a spoon to drizzle over top. Serve warm or room temperature.
