Cherry Cheesecake

My friend shared this recipe with me. It was passed on to her from an older lady in Mt. Carmel and is one of her treasured favorites. I just had to share it with you. This is an easy combination of cherry delight and a cheesecake. What could be better than a recipe that give you two in one?
