This was my Aunt's favorite version of a Fruit Freeze Dessert.
The second recipe was the one my mother always made during the holidays and it was my favorite childhood dessert.
The third recipe is my contemporary version of my mother's, made into a pie.
I hope you like all three of them.
My mother always made this for Thanksgiving and Christmas beginning in the 50's.
It was my favorite dessert as a child.
My mother made it in aluminum ice cube trays without the dividers.
I have a source for them, I will order some for this recipe.
Here's my mother's recipe.

1 1/3 C (15oz. can) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 C lemon juice
1- 12 oz. package of frozen sweet dark cherries.
