CHERRY CROWNS
I originally found this recipe on-line a number of years ago and never made them until last year. I was looking through some cookbooks a few weeks ago and found the very same recipe in the Southern Living Christmas Cookbook. These are really delicious and look so pretty on my cookie trays.

CHERRY ICE CREAM
Delicious cherry ice cream! It's a fabulous, dark shade of magenta and has a tart flavor that kids (and adults) will love. I have been experimenting with tart cherry juice, and I love this recipe!
