1 small pkg black cherry jello (or cherry)
1- 16oz bottle cherry coke (now i buy a 20oz and measure)

  • 2. Add remaining one cup of cherry coke which has been chilled. Stir.
  • 3. Add cherries and pecans. Pour into a shallow mold or bowl.

COKE SALAD



Coke Salad image

This may seem strange, but it is really good. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving dinner without it.

Provided by Joyce Shank

Categories     Gelatin Salads

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 small package of lemon jello
1 small coke (6 l/2 oz)
chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Heat Coke and dissolve jello in Coke. I add a couple of ice cubes to make up the difference in the liquid that the jello calls for. Add chopped pecans about a cup. Pecans will come to the top as it sets. Chill. My family eats this with a dollop of mayonnaise on top. (Sounds strange but it's good.)

COKE SALAD



Coke Salad image

This recipe is always fixed for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is a rich tasting gelatin salad with fruit and nuts and you will hope you have leftovers for a snack later!

Provided by Carol Powell

Categories     Other Salads

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pkg black cherry or any red jello
6 oz coca cola - no diet cola
1 can(s) dark sweet cherries
1 can(s) crushed pineapple
1 c pecans, in pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Drain cherries and pineapple into a saucepan. Set aside the fruit. Bring juices to a boil and remove from heat.
  • 2. Add Jello and dissolve thoroughly in the hot liquid.
  • 3. Add Coca Cola slowly. Do not use diet soda. It will foam but that will mostly dissipate as it cools. Chill until it starts to thicken.
  • 4. Add all the fruit and the pecans and stir well. Pour into a mold or dish and chill until firmly set.
  • 5. This recipe is pretty in a crystal bowl. It will keep for about 4 days in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use a quality brand of cola. This will make a difference in the final flavor of the salad.
  • Choose fresh fruit that is ripe and in season. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the salad. Overmixing can cause the fruit to become mushy.
  • Serve the salad chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.

Conclusion:

Coke salad is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is a perfect way to end a summer meal or to enjoy as a snack. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious salad, give Coke salad a try.
