Most of the cherries in India are small, bright, and tarty with a hint of sweetness but I am not complaining as I love these ruby red beauties
Now I had this box of cherries and I ate almost half of them but then how much can one person eat, isn’t it? I wanted to make the most of them and wondered what dessert I could make with them. I found a packet of strawberry jelly crystals feeling lost at the back of my grocery shelf and I knew what I wanted to make; Fresh Cherry Jelly with Sweetened Cream!
I washed the cherries and set them to drain. I pulled out my jelly mould and set out to make a beautiful low-calorie dessert with these ripe red beauties. I did not pit the cherries as I wanted them whole in the jelly.

Steps

10 mins to cook and 2 hours to set

1

I did not prepare the Jelly according to pack instructions which said 3 cups of water. Instead, I used 2 cups of water so that the jelly would hold the cherries and not give way.
Empty the contents of the Jelly Mix and Jelly premix sachet into a bowl. Heat two cups of water and add to the jelly mix. Add 2 Tbsps of powdered sugar to the jelly mix, if desired. Stir well till all the crystals dissolve and the jelly syrup is translucent.
2

I did not pit the cherries as I wanted them to hold their shape and look like spheres of jelly pearls.
Take a jelly mould or cake Bundt pan and rinse it with water. Place all the cherries evenly around. Refrigerate until set.

If you want to make a rich dessert then serve the jelly with some fresh sweetened cream.Move the jelly mould from the freezer to the crisper section once it sets. When it is ready to serve, unmould the jelly onto a tray. I overturned my mould on a cake stand and it slipped out smoothly as I had rinsed the pan first. If your jelly is frozen then dunk it in hot water and then unmould it.
