Aunt M Fruit Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine fruits; set aside. Whisk sauce ingredients until smooth. Gently fold into fruits. Cover and chill for 3-4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut, and sour cream.
• Stir until completely mixed together.
• You can eat it immediately after mixing, but we recommend that you refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving so that the sour cream can be sweetened by the fruit.
• Try these other variations: add in chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch; to make it sweeter, stir in a little powdered sugar - it will also offset the tartness from the sour cream; add in a small jar of maraschino cherries; add in a can of drained fruit cocktail; add in dried cranberries and a dash of cinnamon; stir in 2 Tablespoons of instant lemon pudding powder for a lemon-taste; use pina colada flavored yogurt in place of the sour cream; top with corn flakes for an added crunch; add diced apples (if you don't like coconut, apples are a great alternative because of the crunch); add grapes (red or green) that have been halved; add diced bananas; add some marshmallow creme in with the sour cream to sweeten it up.

Steps:

• Drain the juice from all the fruits; discard, or use for something else.
• Put sour cream in bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients in the following order, stirring to blend after each ingredient is added - pineapple, marshmallows, nuts, mandarin oranges, cherries. Add coconut last.
• NOTE: Stir the mandarin oranges and maraschino cherries carefully, as they have a tendency to tear apart if mixed too hard.

Steps:

• Drain the canned fruit. Use up to 2 cups of it for 2 cups of the liquid in the jello.
• Make up the jello using 2 cups of boiling water, and 2 cups of juice from the canned fruit, mixing well.
• Put into the mold.
• Refrigerate for about 1 1/2 hrs., or until jello is partially set.
• Stir in the drained fruit and nuts, and refrigerate until set.
• When ready to serve, tip bottom of mold into hot water for a few seconds. This will help to release mold onto serving plate.
• When ready to serve, place serving plate on top of mold and invert.
• Serve.

Steps:
