My sister and I made Tiramisu and varied the recipe somewhat. Details
below.

1 lb. mascarpone cheese, really fresh
1 large can dark cherries (pitted) in syrup (at least 2/3 cup liquid)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2T rum, plus
1/3 cup rum mixed with water and a little extra granulated sugar
24 ladies' fingers or biscotti all'uovo cookies (avail. at Italian
   specialty shops--sizes vary, but this assumes the fairly large ones)

Blend cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2T rum together. Divide into
3 equal parts.

Put 8 biscuits side by side in loaf pan that's at least large enough
to accomodate them. Pour 1/3 of the canned dark cherry juice over the
biscuits, distributing evenly. Layer 1/3 of the cheese mixture over
the biscuits.

Put another 8 biscuits side by side over the cheese mixture. Soak this
layer of biscuits with the rum mixture. Layer another third of the
cheese mixture over the biscuits.

Put another 8 biscuits side by side over the cheese mixture. Soak this
layer of biscuits with the remaining 1/3 cup of canned dark cherry syrup.
Layer the final third of the cheese mixture over the biscuits.

Garnish with the extra cherries. Chill for several hours for best
results, though we never manage to wait that long. Hope you like it. -S.
