1 (#2) can pitted bing (dark) cherries, reserve liquid
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, reserve liquid
1/4 c. celery, finely chopped
1/4 c. pecans, chopped
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, grated
2 pkgs. black cherry Jell-O
10 oz. Coca-Cola

Combine and heat to boiling 1 cup cherry and, if necessary, pineapple juice with 1 cup water. Pour over gelatin and stir until dissolved. When mixture is cool, add the Coca-Cola. Stir and place in refrigerator until partly congealed. Then add the cherries (cut in half), pecans, pineapple, celery and cream cheese. Mix together and pour into desired mold and refrigerate. Serves 10 to 12 persons.

Note: Be sure to use 1 cup water and the rest juice to mix with the gelatin, as all juice will not congeal correctly.
