How to Make Nanny's Coca Cola Salad
- Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks and one 15-ounce can of cherry pie filling, reserving the juice.
- Measure 1 1/2 cups of the reserved juice. Aim for mostly pineapple juice with a little cherry juice.
- Heat the 1 1/2 cups of reserved juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve one 3-ounce package of cherry gelatin (or your preferred flavor) in the heated juice, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese to the gelatin mixture.
- Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the drained pineapple, cherries, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
- Stir in one 12-ounce can of chilled Coca-Cola.
- Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish or similar sized bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
