We use black cherry geatin, Dr. Pepper (of course), drained can of pitted black cherries (not pie filling) and no pineapple, but we do add pecans!

My cousin and I got a good laugh at this as this is such a Southern dish always present at holidays, reunions, etc... and one that neither of us is usually too fond of. The one they served was really good though, and I'm actually wanting to try my hand at making one for a baby shower I am helping host (these pregnancy hormones have me doing all sorts of crazy things...I'm even putting on makeup and jewelry these days to go to the grocery store and I'm not usually much of a girly girl at all). This recipe sounds good (need to a caffeine-free soda, though). I've visited your site before, but I need to start becoming a regular because this Southern girl needs to improve her Southern cookery. In general, I make better Italian and Asian-style food than Southern food...I can't even make my husband good fried chicken ( I do have collard greens, black-eyed peas, and fried squash down though). Oh, I also grew up saying "Coke" when referring to any soda :) There was a baby shower held in my honor a few weeks ago back home (Coffee County, AL…I now live in Madison, AL) and congealed salad was on the catered menu.

Then top with whipped cream which later turned to cool whip. But, was good in the summer time. Bill Hey Christy,

They made a green one with cottage cheese and nuts. yours actually sounds like it would be worth the hassle to make! I adore cherry anything so this sounds great to me. now I have to get the ingredients next time I go shopping.

The hot summer day part is no problem here in Madison, AL. I am going to make it as presented. Can the recipe be tweaked with lime jello and diet 7-UP? What would I substitute the cherries for?

But here's the kicker.... put a little dollop of mayo (NOT Miracle Whip, of course) on top of each serving. The creamy tangy mayo balances out the sweet of the fruit and is YUMMY.
