How to Make Coke Salad

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of drained pineapple juice and 1/2 cup of drained cherry juice. Heat over medium heat until warm.
  2. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 1 (3 ounce) package of cherry gelatin (or your favorite flavor). Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of Coca-Cola®. Let the mixture sit for 45 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups of drained crushed pineapple, 1 cup of drained maraschino cherries, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese (beat until smooth), and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish or similar sized bowl. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
