Berry Jelly Pie
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. A great refreshing pie with berry jelly that's a real hit, especially during hot weather. You can use any berries for the jelly; in this recipe, they are cherries. It's best to prepare this pie overnight so the berries have enough time to set perfectly in the jelly. You can substitute the berries with fresh or canned fruits. Juicy fruits such as peaches work well here. Serve the finished dessert at the table.
