• Combine the flour, white sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla and undrained fruit cocktail. Mix until blended. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with the brown sugar.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until golden brown and firm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the fruit cocktail with juice, pineapple tidbits with juice, drained mandarin oranges and the strawberries. Sprinkle the vanilla pudding mix over the fruit and juice and stir well. Fold in the cool whip. Refrigerate the creamy fruit cocktail salad for an hour then stir just before serving. *I get the Fruit Cocktail that has extra maraschino cherries. Try to get the brand that is in juice or light syrup. The heavy syrup is not recommended for this recipe.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the fruit and lemon juice. Sprinkle with pudding mix. Stir gently for 1 minute or until mixture is thickened. Fold in bananas. Refrigerate until serving.

• NOTE: 1 pk Dream Whip can be substituted for whipped topping.

Steps:

• Empty fruit cocktail, peaches, pineapple, and oranges out into a strainer set over a large bowl to drain.
• Meanwhile, beat cream cheese in a bowl, adding milk until mixture is smooth and creamy. Mix in 3/4 of the whipped topping and 1/4 cup of the drained juice; blend well.
• Dice peaches and fold them into the creamy mixture. Add all the drained fruits and coconut, reserving 5 or 6 mandarins, and stir to coat. Smooth over the top and frost with remaining whipped topping. Decorate top with reserved mandarins. Refrigerate until flavors combine.

Steps:

• FRUIT COCKTAIL DE LUXE DIRECTIONS:.
• Combine fruit of choice, marshmallows and cooked dressing and whipped cream and chill. Serve on a bed of fresh lettuce and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and pineapple cubes.
• FRUIT SALAD DRESSING:.
• Mix the beaten eggs, sugar,flour, salt, pineapple juice, lemon and orange juices in a medium saucepan.
• Over very low to medium low heat, stir all ingredients constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. This will take about 10 minutes. Low heat and constant stirring will prevent the eggs from curdling. (This is actually a Fruit Curd that you are making.).
• After mixture thickens and coats the back of a clean spoon, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
• In the meantime, whip the whipped cream, starting on low speed for 2-3 minutes. As cream thickens, add both vanilla and almond extracts and then the 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until whipped cream holds soft peaks.
• When ready to serve, fold the whipped cream into the cooled Dressing. Add mixture to fruit pieces and serve.
• Variation I: Golden Pineapple Dressing--Omit orange juice. Use 2 egg yolks in place of whole egg. Use only 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Add 1/4 cup butter.
