Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3-oz boxes cherry gelatin
  • 1.5 cups boiling water
  • 1.5 cups cola chilled
  • 1 cup canned dark cherries drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Dissolve the cherry gelatin in the boiling water, stirring for two minutes until fully clear.
  2. Slowly stir in the chilled cola, letting the fizz settle.
  3. Chill until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 45 minutes.
  4. Fold in the drained cherries and pecans so they suspend evenly.
  5. Pour into a greased mold and refrigerate until fully set, then unmold onto a plate.

Notes

A quick dip of the mold in warm water makes unmolding a breeze.
