When I received a 20-lb. box of cherries as a gift one time, I decided to experiment with them—and this turned out to be the successful outcome! I enter the Domestic Science Division of our annual Fall Fair each year. At a recent one, three recipes I'd found in Country Woman netted me ribbons.

Cherry Cinnamon Dessert Ring Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + chilling

Yield: 20 Servings

25 25

Ingredients

3 cups fresh or frozen pitted dark sweet cherries
3-1/4 cups water, divided
1 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoons almond extract
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
Sweetened whipped cream

Directions

In a saucepan, combine cherries with 3 cups of water, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in extract. Set aside. Place remaining water in a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand 1 minute. Heat until dissolved. Stir into cherry mixture and mix well. Refrigerate until mixture begins to thicken, stirring occasionally to distribute cherries evenly. Spoon into a 5-1/2-cup ring mold. Refrigerate until set, about 3-4 hours. Turn onto a serving platter. Serve with whipped cream. Yield: 20 servings.
