My mother made this when I was growing up, but she revised it over the years.

2
Pour over gelatin. Stir well and then let it cool a few minutes.
3
Add Coca-Cola and chill in refrigerator until partially jelled.
4
Add cherries, pineapple, nuts [if desired], and cream cheese [crumbled into small chunks] or whipped cream.
5
Chill in refrigerator until firm. You may put it in a mold if you wish.

Wow! Very rich & flavorful! I used sugar free Jello & Diet Coke..Worked just as well. Recipe in my opinion calls for too much cream cheese... I cut it back by about 25%.. Otherwise, very good salad...could almost serve as a dessert!! I plan to make this again...

Thank-you so much, Cathy! I appreciate all input. You know how it is when you just do it 'the way mom did it' and you get in a rut. I am going to try it with your changes. Thanks, again!!!

Well, the reason I went low-sugar is because I'm diabetic. Using the Diet Coke & Sugar Free Jello worked out just fine! I also put in a few handsfull of mini marshmallows...It was nice & sweet but not enough sugar to hurt me...
