This is a lovely refreshing dessert that has the surprise of halved cherries!   This is very easy to make but will require a trip to an Asian grocery store to buy the almond gelatin mix.   Here is a link for the type I used in this dessert: http://www.onlinefoodgrocery.com/onlinefood/almond-flavor-agar-mix-hypen-6.2oz.html.  There is always the option of using plain gelatin, almond extract and milk to make your own.  Jello and gelatin lovers rejoice!  
Recipe:
1 box of almond gelatin
2 cups fresh halved and pitted cherries
1.  Following the instructions on the gelatin box, you add the mix to 4 1/2 cups of water in a medium sauce pot to boil.  Be sure to use a big enough pot since there will be a volume increase.  
2.  Once the mix has boiled for about a minute, turn off heat and take pot off burner to cool.  
3.  Rinse and halve the cherries to get rid of pits.  Place them in a large glass pan or in several decorative dessert dishes.
4.  Pour cooked gelatin mixture into pan or dishes.  Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
5.  Serve and garnish with whipped cream if desired!
