Ingredients

  • 20 ounces crushed pineapple (drained with juices reserved)
  • 6 ounces jello gelatin (3 ounces cherry and 3 ounces black cherry)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 20 ounces cherry pie filling
  • 3/4 cup cola

Instructions

  1. In a medium sauce pan bring water and pineapple juice to a low boil.

    Remove from heat and add jello gelatin powder stirring until completely dissolved.

  2. Add cherry pie filling and stir to combine. Then and cola and watch it transform into a beautiful bold foamy color. Stir well and transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator for about 1 hour.

  3. Remove from refrigerator and stir in the pineapple until completely combined.

    Return to refrigerator and chill for about 4 more hours or overnight.

  4. The gelatin salad is ready when it’s all firm and set.

    I recommend removing the jello salad from the bowl and transferring to a serving bowl because no one wants to be the first to disturb such a beautiful salad.

    Plus, it really looks better being all mixed up.

    Serve jello salad chilled and maybe top with whipping cream but that is totally optional. Enjoy!
