Mmmm, nice cherry cola flavor here! The fruits where yummy in this jelly, nuts where not necessary in our opinion and because I wasn´t sure of the cream cheese in it, I made half with, half without it. Still not quite sure, both where good, but I perhaps would just leave the cream cheese next time. I don´t know how you guys over there eat your cola salad, with main meal as a salad, or as dessert? The batch without cream cheese was great with ice cream, anyway.
