INSTRUCTIONS
Beat the egg whites till foamy, add the granulated sugar gradually and beat
till stiff. Fold in the almonds cherries, cherry syrup, and vanilla. Fold
confectioners' sugar into whipped cream; fold into the first mixture. Pour

inch on a little sugar between sheets of waxed paper. Snip out holly-leaf
shapes.
