Preparation:
Drain cherries, reserving syrup. Add water to syrup to make 3/4 cup and bring to a boil. Combine gelatin, boiling liquid and lemon juice in electric blender container. Cover and blend at low speed until gelatin is dissolved, about 1 minute. Add ice and cream cheese; cover and blend until ice is melted and cheese is well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into a 4 cup mold or bowl. Drop in cherries, one at a time. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. Unmold. Makes 4 cups or 8 servings. |
