500 - Cherry Coke Salad
(by Nancy [Reichenbach] Persing - friend)
1 - 20oz. can Dole crushed pineapple (drained--SAVE the juice)
1/2 cup water
1 - 6oz. OR 2 - 3oz. boxes cherry Jell-O
1 - 21oz. can cherry pie filling (we use Musselman's)
3/4 cup Coca-Cola soda
Cool Whip (optional)
Drain the pineapple--set pineapple aside but place pineapple juice in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil while stirring. Remove from stove and add the Jell-O mix(es) and stir until dissolved, and while still hot stir in the cherry pie filling and soda. Pour mixture into a serving bowl--when it's cool enough, refrigerate until it starts to gel. Remove from refrigerator and fold in the pineapple. Refrigerate until firm. Top with Cool Whip if desired.
