I make this for special occasions and always get asked for the recipe! First chill a drained 28 oz can of fruit cocktail.Then put it in a bowl,add a large container of Cool Whip,2 sliced bananas,1 small container of sliced strawberrys with the juice,2 cups of mini marshmallows,chopped nuts if desired and Walla,it's done!Chill til ready to use,it's best used the same day....enjoy!
I love this one!





4 cups fresh strawberries, halved


2 cups fresh blueberries


2 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced


2 bananas, sliced


2 cups seedless grapes, halved


1 (8 ounce) container plain or vanilla yogurt


2 teaspoons lemon juice


1 teaspoon sugar


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


DIRECTIONS


In a large salad bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas and grapes. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, sugar and vanilla; mix well. Serve with fruit.
sounds like fun!


Mix up red %26amp; green sliced grapes(or whole),about 10 of each)


bite sized apples and bananas (about 3 of each)


1/2 cup walnut pieces


.....then mix miracle whip or mayo,1/2 cup with a tub of cool whip cream topping,mix it all gently and keep cold...serves about 6 so can be increased in amounts..Plus you can add pineapple as well if you like it..=)
Cut up your favorite fruit into bite size pieces and mix up in a bowl.





Add some sweetened condensed milk over top and lightly mix.





I sometimes put the sweetened condensed milk into an unmarked jar and bring it seperately and pour it on as a topping and tell people it is my secret topping. Always a big hit when I serve it.





I have also added cocoa powder to the sweetened condensed milk to give a chocolate sauce for the kids.
three and half years? hmmmmmm.........best use whole fruit ........blue berries, grapes, diced strawberries, sliced bananas, diced pineapple, diced apples, diced peers, some walnut pieces, sugar and Ice cream or vanilla yogurt or cream to top it all........yumyum
