Crust

1. Add the graham crackers, sugar, and salt to a food processor. Pulse until the crackers are finely ground.

3. Divide the crumbs evenly into 6 half pint sized mason jars.
4. Press the graham cracker crumbs evenly into the bottom of the jars.

Cheesecake

1. Add the heavy cream to a large mixing bowl. Beat using a hand mixe ron medium until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. Add the cream cheese to a separate large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
3. Add the vanilla, sugar, lemon juice, and salt into the cream cheese. Continue mixing until completely combined.
4. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

6. Add the cheesecake mixture into a piping back fitted with a round tip or just a coupler. Pipe the mixture evenly into the 6 mason jars.

Cherry Pie Filling

1. Add the cherries to a saucepan and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat until the cherries begin to break down and release their juice.
