  ++++ CRUST: Combine the cracker crumbs, the brown sugar and butter in
  a small bowl, blending well.  Press into the bottom and up the sides
  of a 9-inch pie plate. FILLING: Beat the two packages of cream cheese
  in a bowl using an electric mixer set on medium speed, until smooth.
  Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar and the vanilla, blending well.  Gently
  fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the cream cheese mixture.
  Pour into the brown sugar pie crust.  Bake at 325 degrees F. for 25
  minutes or until the filling is set.  Cool on a wire rack.  Drain the
  cherries, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.  Combine the reserved juice
  with a few drops of red food coloring, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the
  cornstarch in a 2 quart saucepan.  Cook over medium heat, stirring
  constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens.  Remove from the
  heat and cool slightly.  Arrange the cherries over the cheese filling,
  then spoon the glaze over the cherries.  Cover and chill for at least
  1 hour in the refrigerator or until the glaze is set.  Serve cold.
