Great Aunt Ruby's Coca-Cola Salad


1 (16 oz.) can pitted cherries
1 small can crushed pineapple
1 box black cherry gelatin
1 box red raspberry gelatin
(or any two flavors of gelatin you have in the pantry)

1- 3 oz package of cream cheese, softened
2 small bottles of Coca-Cola® (or one 12 oz. can)
1 cup chopped nuts

Drain fruit juice and add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and pour over the gelatin. Stir in the cream cheese. Let cool, add cherries, pineapple, nuts and Coca-Cola. Chill until thickened.This was my Great Aunt Ruby's recipe. Since the recipe calls for two small bottles of Coke, that should tell you how long it's been around. No worries- a 12 oz. can works just as well.
