Patricia Yost, of Raytown, Missouri, wrote to request a recipe for Cherry Coke salad. She says a can of soda pop was added to cherry pie filling.
Several versions came to us in response to Patricia’s request. Some used cherry pie filling, others sour cherries. This one, from Joyce Conrad of Ashley, Indiana, uses canned Bing cherries.
