Reviews
Very good! I used 16 ounces low-fat small curd cottage cheese, instead of 12 ounces and the entire box of cherry-flavored gelatin plus a 12 ounce bag of frozen sweet cherries. Tasted it before allowing it to set and it was delicious. I’ll be making this again!!!!!
I was given this recipe back in the 70’s. It’s really good and refreshing. Good side dish.
