INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (20 ounce) can pitted sour cherries
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust

DIRECTIONS

  1. Let cherries sit in juice with 1/4 cup sugar for 2 hours.
  2. Drain juice off cherries into a saucepan. Soften gelatin in the cherry juice. Mix in egg yolks and salt. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract, red food color, and cherries. Chill until thick, but not coagulated.
  3. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into cherry mixture. Fold in whipped cream until no streaks remain. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill in refrigerator.
