Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c cherry juice
2 pkg (3 oz) black cherry gelatin
3 c cold cola
1 c pecans, in pieces
1 c cream cheese
2 c cherries
leaf lettuce

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries add a delicious, natural sweetness and tartness to the salad. If you can't find fresh cherries, frozen cherries can also be used. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Choose a flavorful Jell-O: The flavor of the Jell-O will be the dominant flavor in the salad, so choose one that you enjoy. Some popular choices include cherry, strawberry, and raspberry.
  • Don't overcook the Jell-O: Overcooked Jell-O will be tough and rubbery. Follow the package directions carefully to avoid overcooking.
  • Chill the salad thoroughly: The salad needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the Jell-O to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salad with whipped cream or ice cream: Whipped cream or ice cream adds a delicious and creamy touch to the salad. It's also a great way to balance out the sweetness of the cherries and Jell-O.

Conclusion:

Cherry Jell-O salad is a classic summer dessert that is both refreshing and delicious. It's a great way to use up fresh cherries, and it's always a hit at potlucks and picnics. With a few simple tips, you can make a cherry Jell-O salad that is sure to impress your friends and family.
