"Fresh cherries in an easy no bake pie. Top with whipped topping. Chocolate fans may want to try using a prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust for this recipe."
Original recipe yield: 1 - 9 inch pie.
Servings:
8

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (9 inch) prepared vanilla wafer crust
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin

  • 4 cups pitted cherries
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice
