Coke Salad

Here's what you need:

• 1 - 6 oz box of cherry Jello
• 1 cup boiling water
• 10 oz. Coca-Cola
• 8 oz. crushed pineapple, with juice
• 1 - 14-16 oz. can of Tart Red Cherries in water
• 1 cup pecans, chopped 

Add Jello to a large bowl and add boiling water. Mix to combine and dissolve the crystals. Add your coke and give it a good stir. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes stirring every 10 minutes or so. Mixture should be thickened but NOT fully set. 

Add your tart cherries (with the juice) to a food processor and blend just to chop them up a bit.

Remove Jello from refrigerator after the 30-40 minutes and add the pecans, pineapple and cherries. Give it a good stir and then pour into your silicone mold. Carefully transfer to the refrigerator and let it sit until set (overnight is best). 

Turn the mold upside down on a large plate and release it from the mold. 

Enjoy as a standalone side dish or top with whipped topping for a tasty treat. Enjoy!
