Dr Pepper Jello Salad

By kathleentirpak

This is my variation on the Coca-Cola Jello Salad.

Ingredients

• ( or most of a small jar :
• 1 small package unflavored gelatin
• or black-cherry Jello
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cups Dr Pepper
• 1 1/2 cups diced cherries
• add cherries " to taste " )

Preparation

Step 1

Combine in a saucepan : gelatin, sugar, cold water, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring, until dry ingredients are dissolved. Remove pan from heat, add Dr Pepper. Chill in refrigerator to consistency of an unbeaten egg white. Fold in the cherries. ( For a fancier dessert, use 6 small fluted molds, rather than a bowl.) Chill until firmly set.
