Bing Cherry Parfait Pie recipe

1 small package cherry Jell-O
1 cups hot cherry syrup
1/4 cups cold water
1 pint vanilla ice cream (or black cherry)
1 (16 ounce) can dark sweet cherries, drained
1 baked 9-inch pie shell, cooled

Dissolve Jell-O in hot cherry syrup. Add cold water.

Cut ice cream into six chunks; add to Jell-O mixture and stir until melted. Chill mixture until it begins to thicken and mound when spooned, 20 to 30 minutes, then fold in cherries. Turn into pie shell. Chill until firm (20 to 25 minutes).

NOTE: Frozen strawberries can be substituted.
