BLACK CHERRY DESSERT

1 quart black cherries
2 cups water
1 pkg (4-serving size) sugar-free cherry gelatin
1/2 cup chopped almonds
whipped cream for garnish

Pit the cherries and combine the pitted cherries in a saucepan with the water.  Cover over low heat until the cherries are just tender.  Drain the cherries thoroughly but reserve the liquid.  Pour the liquid into a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough water to make 2 cups.

In saucepan, heat the cherry liquid to boiling; remove from heat and stir in the gelatin.  Stir to thoroughly dissolve.  Chill until the mixture is of a consistency similar to egg whites.  Fold in the cherries and the almonds.  Pour into individual dessert dishes or a serving dish.  Chill until firm.  Garnish with whipped cream before serving.
