Friends,
This is part of an e-mail a friend sent me. Maybe you can steer me
in the right direction on how to find the recipe he is looking for or
maybe one of you have it:

The recipe I am looking for is cherry tarts. I believe the basic
ingredients are Philly Cream Cheese, cherries, and sliced almonds on
top. I think the dough was crescent rolls from Pillsbury or Betty
Crocker? Maybe had lemon juice in the mix as well. Any help would be
appreciated. This recipe was from 25-30 years ago.

Thanks!

Like the 'non baking cookie' posts i recognize this recipe from my
youth. But now that we have got the OP's question addressed, let us
turn to the 'strudels' of Austria for which a cherry filling is common.
There is also the sponge cake with cherries "Bublanina."

I have a recipe for Linzer torte made with raspberry jam (1 & 1/2 cups)
and i see no reason why canned or fresh cherries could not be used. I
like a tart or slightly sour black cherry.
