TART CHERRY DELIGHT

Tart Cherry Delight image

Did I mention I love the flavor of tart red pie cherries? It's not that familiar a flavor and so people try to figure out what gives this salad its unique taste. A conversation piece, you see. I really treasure this salad recipe. It goes especially well with ham. Cooking time is actually chilling time.
