Bing Cherry Parfait Pie recipe

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

Dissolve gelatin in hot cherry syrup. Add cold water. Cut ice cream into six chunks; add to gelatin mixture and stir until melted. Chill mixture until it begins to thicken and mound when spooned, 20 to 30 minutes.

Fold in cherries. Turn into pie shell. Chill until firm (20 to 25 minutes). Frozen strawberries can be substituted.
