looking for a fruit recipe ....
 
My fruit salad is literally just a bunch of fruit (usually berries, apples, and mandarin oranges) thrown together. Was there something specific you were looking for?
 
Kraftfoods.com had some that looked good. I made one last year and I just used apples, pears, pineapple, strawberries and grapes. I cut up the larger fruit into bite-sized pieces and it kept for a couple of days. I also saw something recently where you cut fresh fruit and put it on sticks to serve.

Thanks you guys, my friend was looking for something with whipped cream
and coconut.. she is trying to find something for a picky husband lol
I told her good luck, and that I would ask my friends here on cs :D
 
I make one that my family asks for every year. It's 2 cans of mandarin oranges, 2 cans of pineapple (tidbits, or chunks whichever you want), and 2 jars of maraschino cherries (I really like cherries, but you can just use one) drain them all really well and put into bowl mix with marshmallows and cool whip. That's all, and everyone LOVES it!
 
Here is my recipe- I just got done making a LARGE batch- I have to make it every holiday- it is 5 cup saled, or as my girls call it "tropical salad" (1 5x the recipe) 1 cup of each- sour cream, mini marshmallows, flaked coconut, mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Drain the mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks, and then mix all together in large bowl. I always make it the day before, gives it time for the flavors to meld together-
