How to Make Easy Cherry Jello

  1. Prepare a loaf-style pan (glass is preferred, but metal works).
  2. In the pan, carefully pour one (3 ounce) package of cherry flavored gelatin.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) of boiling water to the pan. Stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  4. Stir in 1 cup (240ml) of cold water.
  5. Gently mix in one (15 ounce) can of cherry pie filling.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the jello is completely firm. The cherries will naturally settle to the top.
  7. Once firm, carefully slice and serve.
  8. For an extra touch, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream.
