Mix these together in mixer with fruit juices then fold in fruit and cool in fridge for about an hr. And sometimes I even add some coconut :).

That's to a large bowl of fruit salad. I've done this since the early 70s. It keeps the bananas from turning for probably a week. Yes sprinkle fresh fruit works too, but I've found I prefer to sprinkle tang. It may be cheaper & a jar lasts a long time. Plus I can add it to water if I want to drink it.Pamela Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-45311155428404353402013-12-13T12:57:45.869-06:002013-12-13T12:57:45.869-06:00Now i make this same way but i drain all the juice...Now i make this same way but i drain all the juice from the canned fruit... and reserve one cup of the juice. I use cooked pudding... can be vanilla, or banana anything but chocolate and I put the one cup of juice with the cooked pudding and i cook it until it gets thick... it will turn an orange type color and get really thick and thats the way you want it really thick and let it cool a little and then i pour that mixture over the fruit. I have used all types of fruit but when you add banana's add them last I often sprinkle fruit fresh on them. I add nuts, marshmallows, even white chips, even dried fruit.

We use fresh fruit and just about any kind may show up in there. Thank goodness I have a husband that loves to eat and loves to cook and really helps in the kitchen. We love fresh pineapples, mangos, and oranges especially in it. Great for a snack and sometimes even a meal for us.<br />MargaretmorganMartinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-81876388376567917182013-12-05T18:36:45.193-06:002013-12-05T18:36:45.193-06:00My grandmother use to make this when I was very sm...My grandmother use to make this when I was very small in the 1950s. Instead of buying cans of fruit cocktail, then we used the fresh fruit we had. (ie: grapes, bananas, apples, oranges or tangerines, cherries, the canned pineapple, and my grandfather sometimes threw in a handful of coconut. We found that we liked it a lot better without the pudding. Later years we started using canned mandarins because they were cheaper. The different syrups were wonderful together.Peonie99https://www.blogger.com/profile/13172863376673904531noreply@blogger.com
