Time 1h16m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

36 maraschino cherries, drained and juice reserved
½ cup slivered almonds
1 (8 ounce) package shredded coconut
3 drops green food coloring
3 drops red food coloring
1 cup butter, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup quick cooking oats
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place drained cherries on a paper towel.
  • Grind slivered almonds in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Place coconut in the food processor; grind until finely chopped. Transfer 1 cup to a resealable plastic bag; add 3 drops of green food coloring, seal the bag, and shake. Pour into a bowl. Transfer remaining coconut to a separate resealable plastic bag; add 3 drops of red food coloring. Pour into a separate bowl.
  • Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in water and almond extract.
  • Combine flour, ground almonds, oats, and salt in a bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture gradually; dough will be crumbly.
  • Pack 1 tablespoon of dough around each cherry, forming a ball. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Place 16 ounce package sugar in a bowl; mix in enough reserved cherry juice to reach a smooth dipping consistency. Dip the tops of the cooled cookies in the icing and then in the colored coconut. Place on waxed paper until icing is set, about 20 minutes.

Provided by Debbie Sue

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

75 medium size cherry tomatoes
THE FILLING
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 bunch green onions, cut up to green, and cut very fine
2 can(s) shrimp

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the cherry tomatoes. Wash well and dry. Make a straight cut to remove the stem end of the tomato. Then scoop out the seeds and pulp with the smallest spoon available. (I used a 1/8 tsp.)
  • 2. Turn all the tomatoes upside down, to let the juices drain. While the tomatoes are draining, prepare the filling.
  • 3. Mix cream cheese and mayonnaise together, until smooth. Add the green onions, mix well. Set aside.
  • 4. Drain the packing juice from the canned shrimp. Then soak the shrimp in ice water for 10 minutes. Pour off the water, and squeeze excess water from shrimp gently, and shred by hand.
  • 5. Add the shredded shrimp to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well.
  • 6. Generously fill each cherry tomato with the shrimp filling. Chill and serve! Enjoy!

CHERRY SURPRISE CAKE



Cherry Surprise Cake image

The marshmallows started out on the bottom and ended up on the top forming a thin, brown,bubbly topping. And the cherries, which were on the top, ended up on the bottom. I haven't tried this with other pie fillings but I bet it would be equally as good.

Provided by Ceezie

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 cups mini marshmallows
18 1/4 ounces yellow cake mix
21 ounces light cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 pan with Pam. Spread marshmallows evenly over bottom of pan. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter over marshmallows. Spoon cherries evenly over batter. Bake 45 - 50 minutes. When toothpick comes out clean, cake is done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Pit the cherries: Before you use the cherries, you need to pit them. You can do this with a cherry pitter or a paring knife. If you are using a paring knife, be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Don't overcook the cherries: Cherries only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and heated through.
  • Serve the cherry surprise warm: Cherry surprise is best served warm, but it can also be served cold. If you are serving it cold, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Cherry surprise is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be made in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cherry surprise a try. You won't be disappointed!
