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. 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:
1. 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. pan. Chill until firm, about 3 hours. Yield: 16-18 servings.
