Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

Cherry Coke Salad (I LOVE this!!!)

2 (3-oz.) packages Cherry Jell-o

2 (8-oz.) Coca Colas

6 oz. cream cheese (softened)

2 (15-oz.) cans black bing cherries

1 cup chopped pecans or pecan pieces

1 cup shredded coconut


Cream the cream cheese and set aside. Drain juice from cherries and add enough water to juice to make 2 cups of liquid. Bring juice to a boil. Wisk in gelatin and stir until well dissolved, cooking on low heat for about 2 minutes. Place pot in freezer for about 10 minutes, or until cool. Add Cokes to Jello liquid and stir into cream cheese.  Stir in cherries, coconut, and nuts. Pour into Pyrex dish and chill until firm. Makes approximately 6-8 servings (maybe more).
