Tart Cherry Salad

Country Extra

This recipe has been in my family for years; we especially use it during the holiday season. It's pleasantly tart and a perfect complement to any meal.

SERVINGS: 16-18

CATEGORY: Salads

METHOD: Chill

TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (16 ounces each) tart red cherries
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 packages (6 ounces each) cherry gelatin
  • 3 cups ginger ale
  • 3/4 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Directions:

Drain cherries and pineapple, reserving juices. Set fruit aside. Add enough water to combined juices to make 3-1/4 cups; pour into a saucepan. Add sugar; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Add cherries, pineapple and ginger ale. Chill until partially set. Stir in coconut and nuts if desired. Pour into an oiled 3-qt. mold or 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. pan. Chill until firm, about 3 hours. Yield: 16-18 servings.
