Brian loves fruit salad and I am always on the look out for a new twist. I adapted a recipe I saw in a Church cookbook called, Sharing Our Best, from the Peace Lutheran Church in Okeechobee, Fla.
My version goes like this:
1 20 oz. can of pineapple chunks, drain and save the juice
1 qt. thawed frozen peaches, drain and save the juice
1 18 oz. can of mandarin oranges, drained
3 bananas sliced into the juice of a fresh lemon
1 apple chopped with peel left on
1 - 3.4 oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding
milk to add to pineapple and peach juices to make 1 1/2 C. liquid
3/4 C. sour cream
Combine the fruit draining any additional juice that may have formed in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the pudding mix and combined juices and milk for about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and mix well. Spoon over the fruit and toss to coat.
Either cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or spoon into desert dishes and cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve as is or top with sweetened cream.
