Cream Crisco and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk and flavorings. Stir in cherries. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Start in cold oven; bake at 275 for 2-1/2 hours. (I did NOT follow this part of the directions, but instead baked it for about an hour in a preheated 350-degree oven.)

Mix together and spread on hot cake. (I added about a tablespoon of the reserved cherry juice to get the texture I wanted -- also, pink icing! You won't need all of it.)
