Cherry Coke Salad

Hi everyone! Hope your week is off to a great start.

Today I want to share with you a salad that I made for our Easter dinner that we had on Sunday. We had to get together a week early because my youngest daughter was in town for a volleyball game and would not be coming back for Easter.

This is a recipe that I got from my sister-in-law clear back in the late 1970's and has become a salad that is always on the table for every family get together. So sorry I don't have a picture to share with you, didn't have time to take one. You can stir this up a couple of days before you need it too.


CHERRY COKE SALAD

1 - 14.5 oz. can of red sour cherries, save the liquid
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup liquid from the cherries
1 - 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, undrained
10 ounces COKE
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
2 - small packages cherry Jell-O

Place cherries, sugar and cherry liquid in saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 to 3 minutes, remove from the heat. Pour in cherry jello and stir well. Slowly add the COKE, mixing well. Set aside to cool to lukewarm. Add the nuts and pineapple when mixture is lukewarm. Pour into either a serving bowl or a mold. Put into refrigerator to set.

Hope your family enjoys this simple salad as much as we do, thanks for stopping by!! Mary
