I want to make a cherry jello salad made with tart pitted cherries in water.  I am having trouble finding the cherries in water.  I am wondering if I could buy cherries in syrup and rinse them in water?  The recipe does not say use the cherry water, but calls for a 1/2 cup of water.  The other liquid ingredient is coke.

I would think that would work!  Or maybe get frozen cherries?  Our store has both frozen tart and black cherries.  

Sounds like a good recipe, especially for summer

@Imaoldhippie   That sounds like a creative solution.  I don't know why it wouldn't work.   I love cherries in any form.  During this heat wave a jello salad would hit the spot.  Let us know how it turns out.

@Imaoldhippie Well, get a jar of tipsy cherries and put a few in a coke with a good amount of ice and contemplate the situation on your porch on a pretty day!

@Sooner .......best advise, I will add some Jack Daniels to it.

@Knit-Chick ...........I thought of frozen cherries but wondered when thawed if they would be watery?

That sounds yummy.  I had a recipe that used coke and cherry pie filling with jello.  Only made it a few times as it made about 9 cups of jello.  Way too much. LOL

@Imaoldhippie Hmmmm. . . now that I've thought about it, I may try to help you "study on" the problem this afternoon!  (My dad always said he's "study on it" to think about something.)

Here is the link to the recipe of anyone would like to try it.

I will be making this for a church picnic Sunday.  I will report back if it was a success.
