Coca-Cola Jello Salad

Coca-Cola Jello Salad is a tasty fruity treat that is made by combining chopped tart cherries, crushed pineapple and a cupful of Coca-Cola.

This jello salad requires only six ingredients and is really easy to make. Just be sure to allow yourself enough time for the jello salad to set, at for four hours to overnight.

Be sure to use canned pineapple as fresh pineapple has enzymes that cause gelatin not to set up properly.

Coca-Cola Jello Salad

Lightly spray a little cooking spray inside your jello mold to help the jello release more easily when it’s done setting. The cooking spray also prevents the surface of the salad from drying out and forming a tough skin. Don’t worry, this will not make your salad greasy at all.

This Coca-Cola Jello Salad pairs well as a side dish or a light dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coca cola
• 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 2 (3-ounce) packages cherry gelatin powder (or strawberry, raspberry or black cherry)
