Nanny's Coca Cola Salad image

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.

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 ounces pineapple chunks in juice, juice reserved
20 ounces bing cherries in juice, juice reserved
2 (8 ounce) packages cherry Jell-O
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 1/2 cups cola

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.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It worked great!
