Bing Cherry Jell-O


*This recipe is for a double recipe, which we often find to not even be enough.


2 cans pitted Bing cherries (reserve juice)
2 cans crushed pineapple (drained)
2 small boxes black cherry Jell-O
1 1/2 - 2 cups (flat) Coke or Dr. Pepper
(you could add chopped nuts... but why would you do that?)


Drain cherries and put juice into sauce pan & heat until almost boiling. Transfer to serving dish and wtir in powdered Jell-O. Add cherries and drained pineapple. Pour in Coke/Dr. Pepper & stir gently. Refrigerate until set.
