• Combine the Jell-O and 2 cups boiling water in a bowl and stir until dissolved. Stir in the sherry and orange juice.
• Lightly spray a 6-cup gelatin mold or glass bowl with cooking spray. Pour in the gelatin mixture and scatter the stuffed cherries and remaining walnuts evenly in the mold. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 8 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, place the mold in a bowl of hot water to loosen the gelatin, about 5 minutes. Gently invert over a platter to release.

CHERRY GUMMIES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin into 1 cup water and allow it to bloom, which will take about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the cherry juice and sugar in a saucepan over a medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Add in the lime zest and juice, stirring to combine.
• Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pan and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for 2 hours.
• Remove the pan from the fridge and tip the chilled gummy block onto a board. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Carefully remove the individual gummies onto a baking sheet and allow them to sit out overnight on the counter. This will help give them a more gummy texture. Pack into resealable bags or mason jars.

• Add 1 cup water to crushed cherries.
