Photo: Cherry-Walnut Gelatin Mold Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound pitted bing cherries (frozen or canned), thawed if frozen
- 1 1/4 cups walnut halves
- 1 6-ounce package cherry Jell-O
- 1 cup sherry
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Cooking spray
Directions
Drain the cherries and pat dry. Break the walnuts into pieces, then stuff each cherry with a nut.
Combine the Jell-O and 2 cups boiling water in a bowl and stir until dissolved. Stir in the sherry and orange juice.
Lightly spray a 6-cup gelatin mold or glass bowl with cooking spray. Pour in the gelatin mixture and scatter the stuffed cherries and remaining walnuts evenly in the mold. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 8 hours or overnight.
Before serving, place the mold in a bowl of hot water to loosen the gelatin, about 5 minutes. Gently invert over a platter to release.

Hi All, Duff's mom here -
This cherished jello recipe has been requisite in our Thanksgiving AND Passover repertoire since I was a kid! Duff and his big brother, Willie love it. It goes great with any fowl - even duck, which I make a lot.
In fact, I'm making it today for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I've been using the same Tupperware mold for close to 40 years. VERY IMPORTANT - Be sure to stuff EACH cherry with the walnut half. The cherries must be dependable to have a nut inside.
The second reviewer is correct - the ratio of fluid to jello must be identical to what's on the package. To be sure, you can add some KNOX Gelatin to the mix.
Best Wishes to all, XO Jackie Winch

Let this be the first legitimate review, and I'll start by stating the jello-to-fluid ratio is incorrect. 6oz of jello does not dissolve completely in 2 cups boiling water. Will definitely retry this recipe, but with modifications.
