Original Recipe Yield 1 - 9 inch pie

Ingredients

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

Let cherries sit in juice with 1/4 cup sugar for 2 hours.
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.
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.
