@Imaoldhippie I would buy the canned cherries in syrup and rinse them. I know the salad you are making. My mother used to make it. The coke was the tell.

If you buy the cherries in syrup, I would not rinse the cherries, and would use half a cup of the syrup in the recipe instead of the water.  No way would I waste that flavorful syrup.

Rinsing cherries would totally work.

 

Just DON'T use fresh pineapple which has an enzyme which eats the jello, causing a setting issue.

  Canned pineapple is ok.

@Imaoldhippie 

 

Your thread title made me LOL. 

 

For some strange reason I woke up this morning wondering if I could make a Key Lime something or other, starting with lime jello.   I have Key Lime Pie on the brain.
