Recipe type: Side dish
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1 30 ounce can fruit cocktail, drain juice in a bowl
  • 1 20 ounce can pineapple chunks, drain juice in the same bowl as the fruit cocktail
  • 1 15 ounce can mandarin oranges, drain in a bowl
  • 1 3.9 oz instant vanilla pudding
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (like cool whip), thawed
  • half bag of mini marshmallows (you can use more if you would like)
  • Maraschino cherries for color and garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Drain canned fruit (make sure to drain it well!) into a bowl reserving ¾ cup of juice. Discard the rest of the juice. In a large bowl, whisk together the ¾ cup juice and instant vanilla pudding for two minutes - will be thick. Fold in cool whip then add drained fruit and marshmallows and mix. Finally. Cover tightly and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Everything will thicken as it chills.
Notes
This can be made with other canned fruits or you can add grapes, oranges, cherries, etc. Apples and bananas will turn brown over time. This can also be made the day before you serve it - we eat it as leftovers and it's still really good. The marshmallows do soften after it sits awhile but they are really good like that! If you want the marshmallows to be firmer, add marshmallows before you serve.
