NANNY'S COCA COLA SALAD
This is one of the many recipes from my Grandmother's cookbook. She passed away in May of 2005. I am recording her wonderful recipes for my family and the many generations that will follow. I hope you enjoy her recipes as much as we do. I have not made each one yet so cooking time and servings may not be posted on some. Blessings from FOURMRANCHWIFE in Texas.

Steps:
- Drain pineapple and cherries; reserve juice.
- Heat 1-1/2 cups of reserved juice; most of the 1-1/2 cups should be pineapple juice and just a little cherry juice.
- Dissolve Jell-O in heated juice; add softened cream cheese; whip.
- Add pineapple, cherries, and pecans.
- Stir in Cola.
- Chill until firm.
- The ounce sizes are guesses; it is the big can of cherry and pineapple; the Jell-O is the small box. When I make it I will look at sizes and edit.

Steps:
- Heat reserved fruit juices to dissolve Jell-O. Let the mixture cool, and add cold Coca Cola. Put mixture into refrigerator until it begins to thicken. Then fold in chopped cream cheese, chopped nuts, and cold fruit. Pour in molds which have been rinsed in cold water, and place in the refrigerator to congeal. Unmold on lettuce leaves, dipping molds in heated water (not boiling) as nearly the depth of the mold as possible. Loosen carefully around the top with tip of small knife. Center the serving dish on top of mold, holding the dish and mold firmly together, and turn upside down. Garnish with a bit of mayonnaise or salad dressing. Variation: Strawberries may be substituted for cherries. Fun Fact: The Biedenharn Candy Company Museum in Vicksburg, Mississippi, commemorates the site where the soft drink, Coca-Cola, was first bottled in 1894.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If the fruit is not ripe, it will not be as sweet and will not have as much flavor.
- Do not overcook the fruit. Overcooked fruit will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a light hand with the sugar. Too much sugar will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
- Serve the salad with whipped cream or ice cream for a special treat.
