I couldn't taste the Coke that was used in making this salad. It tasted like it does when using water instead of Coke. Next time I'll use water in the recipe and drink the Coke. I omitted the nuts.

This, with the addition of one package of cream cheese, coarsely chopped, has been a tradition at our Christmas table for many years. It's so good! And here I was thinking it was a secret family recipe! :)

This was very, very good. Following other reviewers suggestions, I chopped up the cherries. I also used a 3 oz pkg of Black Cherry Jello and a 3 oz pkg of Cherry, because that's all I had - it turned out well. I also omitted the nuts, because we don't care for them, and it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

My family did not much care for this one- had to really encourage them to taste it, and they are not picky. We all agreed to the nuts (even cut in half) were very overwhelming. I guess we have to keep shopping.

This version is okay, but is a rip-off of a much better recipe containing cream cheese. I suggest those who like this try the REAL Coca-Cola(tm) salad. You won't be disappointed.

Great potluck recipe and soooooooo easy. Like some other reviewer's I reduced the nuts to about 1/2 cup. Also cut the cherries in half before adding them. Did not have black cherry Jello so I used wild cherry which worked well. I used regular Coca'Cola. Everybody wanted the recipe. Thanks so much Andee for a simple but excellent recipe.

I'm not really a gelatin salad fan but this was very good. I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it. It's also very simple which is nice when in a hurry.

This is the best jello mold we ever had, and a big hit with guests. Thanks!

I knew my Mom had used this recipe several times to carry to potlucks, and it was always big success for her. I needed to fix a nice congealed salad for a large dinner at my church. This is the one I used. I scaled the recipe for 16 people, and used a 9x13 pan. I did as suggested in other reviews, and used less pecans. It turned out great!

I used sugar-free regular cherry jell-o because the store I shop at didn't have black cherry jell-o. I also used tart cherries & Cherry Coke & half the nuts the recipe calls for as others have suggested. I made it in my Tupperware jell-o mold & it turned perfect. Everyone loved it. I think I will experiment using cranberry jell-o for Thanksgiving & maybe try it with orange jell-o, Sprite & mandarin oranges in place of the cherries for a citrus salad.

Really good. It's a nice gelatin mold for Thanksgiving or Christmas because it has a deep, dark reddish color. The cherries and pineapple make a tasty blend.

This was super-easy. Even using sugar-free gelatin and diet cola, it tasted good. The gelatin seemed really firm to me though--is it really supposed to be a 6-oz box of gelatin?

This was not very good. I proudly set it out at Thanksgiving dinner because it was very pretty. My in-laws told me how they were really looking forward to trying it as they love jello molds. Everyone took one bite and pushed it aside. The combination of flavors is not good.
