CHERRY COKE SALAD
Serves 8-10
Use 9x13 inch pan or individual molds

1 6 oz. box cherry Jello
¾ cup hot water
¾ cup sugar
1-14.5 oz. can pie cherries including liquid
¾ cup of Coca-Cola
1-8 oz. can crushed pineapple including liquid
½ cup chopped pecans

Dissolve Jello in hot water. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add cherries, Coke, and pineapple. Stir in pecans when cool. Pour into molds or pan and refrigerate until firm.

This is a tasty salad. I’ve seen similar recipes that include everything from celery to cream cheese! You can also add coconut. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Try using 7-Up and raspberry Jello with another type of canned fruit….just make up your own combination of flavors.

This recipe does NOT call for pie filling – you need the juice of the canned fruit to give the finished dish the right consistency.
