Lenten Luncheon Cherry Jello Salad

Recipes—Can we ever have enough of them?

This recipe is from the estate of husband's aunt Marjorie. She wrote these recipes for her personal collection. I have no knowledge of where she found them. She was active in her church and I expect this was taken to a carry-in luncheon.
