This is a classic in our family. It can be found at almost every family gathering, especially during the holidays. It is a clean fresh taste that cleans the palate after a heavy meal. It is also great long after your food has settled and everyone is watching Football on the tube.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
1 Large Can of Fruit Cocktail, drained
1 Cup of shredded Coconut
1 Large apple, cored and diced - drizzled with Lemon Juice
2 small cans of mandarin orange sections, drained
1 cup of chopped nuts (Walnuts or Pecans)
2 FIRM bananas sliced thin, drizzled with Lemon Juice
1 small can of pineapple tidbits, drained
couple of hands full of green seedless grapes cut in half (optional due to season)
INSTRUCTIONS
The simple thing about this is you just simply mix the ingredients together (toss them gently...you don't want mushed fruit!) and cover and chill in the fridge. It makes it's own juice as it melds together overnight.
When you are ready to serve, fold all the ingredients from the bottom up to redistribute the juices over the fruits and nuts.
Place on buffet or serve it up in small compote containers.
