NANNY'S COCA COLA SALAD
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.

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.

CHERRY COKE SALAD
I was looking for something a little different to take to a family BBQ and found this in my Taste of Home 2003 annual recipes cookbook. The thing I like most about this recipe is the ingredients are usually in my cupboards. Very pretty if you make it in a glass serving bowl. Makes a great dessert, too.

- Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside.
- In a saucepan or microwave, bring pineapple juice and water to a bowl. Add gelatin; stir until dissolved.
- Stir in pie filling and cola. Pour into serving bowl.
- Refrigerate until slightly thickened.
- Fold in reserved pineapple.
- Refrigerate until firm.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe fruit. Frozen fruit can be used, but it will not have the same flavor and texture as fresh fruit.
- If you don't have any vanilla pudding mix, you can make your own by mixing together 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened.
- To make the salad ahead of time, assemble it and then cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
- For a fun and festive twist, you can add some chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even mini marshmallows to the salad.

Nanny's Coca-Cola Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy salad, give Nanny's Coca-Cola Salad a try!
