Stir into the boiling juice and thicken. Stir in cinnamon and honey. Fold in cherries. Soak gelatine. Warm up the cherry brandy and lemon juice a little. Squeeze 6 sheets of gelatine and dissolve in it. Chill until the cherry brandy mixture begins to gel. Warm up 200 ml cherry juice a little bit. Squeeze 2 sheets of gelatine and dissolve in the juice.
