Wash and drain cherries. Remove stones and reserve 8 whole cherries for

boil 3 tbsp. sugar and the water for a minute to make a thin sugar syrup.
Add syrup to the cherries and stir to blend. Cover and let soak for 20
minutes. Cut the grapes in halves, divide into 4 portions, and place in
individual glass dishes. Arrange cherries on top. Thoroughly blend cream
cheese, 3 tbsp. sugar, vanilla extract, and ground almonds. Whip the cream
and carefully add it into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon over the cherries.
