Instructions: Place Jell-O powder in a large bowl. Pour 1 cup reserved cherry juice into bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water. Whisk thoroughly until Jell-O is dissolved. Chill in refrigerator until gelatin begins to set, about 15 minutes.

Remove from refrigerator, and add either sour cream or whipped cream cheese. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer until smooth. Add cherries. Pour into a 3-quart mold. Refrigerate until firm.

Quickly dip mold into a bowl of warm water. Wipe mold dry. Place a serving plate on top of mold, and invert. Repeat if necessary to release Jell-O. Serve immediately or keep chilled until serving.
