Recipe of the Week - Cherry Coke Salad

I'll bet this is a new one on you!

Originating from the Deep South, Cherry Coke Salad might not necessarily sound like a match made in Heaven but when served as a dessert or sweet salad on a hot day it is actually surprisingly good! For best results it is well worth leaving this dessert in the fridge for 24 hours to really let the flavour soak in.


Ingredients

20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup water
6 oz cherry gelatin powder
21oz cherry pie filling
3/4 cup Cherry Coke
Handful of roughly chopped Pecan or Macadamia Nuts
Whipped Cream
Cadbury's Flake


Method

1.  Drain the pineapple and set aside.

2.  Pour the pineapple juice into a saucepan, add the water and bring to a boil.

3.  Remove saucepan from the stove and stir in the gelatin powder until the gelatin mixture is dissolved.

4. Add the cherry pie filling and Cherry Coke and pour mixture into a serving bowl.

5. Leave to chill until the mixture starts to thicken.

6.  Fold in the reserved crushed pineapple and pecan or macadamia nuts.

7. Refrigerate until firm and then serve topped with whipped cream and a crushed Cadbury's Flake.
