FRUIT SALAD:
1 CUP ORANGE JUICE
1 CAN PINEAPPLE
1 CAN PEACHES
3-4 DICED APPLES ( I USED 2 GALA AND 2 GOLDEN DEL.)
1 PINT FRESH BLUEBERRIES
1 QUART OF FRESH STRAWBERRIES
1 LARGE PKG. VANILLA PUDDING MIX (THE KIND YOU HAVE TO COOK)
DRAIN OFF JUICE FROM CANNED FRUIT AND RESERVE
BLEND PUDDING MIX INTO THE ORANGE JUICE AND 1/2 CUP OF THER RESERVED JUICE.
COOK ON A MEDIUM FLAME TILL IT THICKENS (STIRRING CONSTANTLY) YOU WANT A CONSISTENCY OF GRAVY. ( ALLOW TO COOL OR SPEED IT UP ADDING AN ICE CUBE OR 2 ) WHEN COOL MIX IN WITH THE FRUIT AND ADD ANY RESERVED JUICE YOU WOULD LIKE AND MIX TOGETHER.
** AS I DICED THE APPLES I TOSSED THEM IN THE ORANGE JUICE TO PREVENT FROM TURNING BROWN, THEN USED THE OJ WITH THE PUDDING TO COOK.
** I USED REGULAR VANILLA COOK-TYPE PUDDING - THEY MAY MAKE A SUGAR FREE KIND BUT I DIDN'T LOOK
** THE FRUIT CAN BE PACKED IN IT'S OWN JUICE TO REDUCE SUGARS
* YOU MAY ADD ANY OTHER FRESH OR CANNED FRUIT YOU LIKE. ( BANANNAS TEND TO GET LIMP IF NOT EATEN THE SAME DAY THO
** THE ORANGE JUICE SEEMS TO BE WHAT HELPS TO PRESERVE THIS ( I CAN KEEP IT UP TO 1 WK.)
WARNING: IF YOU USE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES PLEASE ONLY USE THE QUICK- FROZEN ONES PACKED LOOSLY AND NOT RUNNY W/JUICE CUZ IT WILL STAIN THE LIGHT COLORED FRUIT W/PURPLE BLOTCHES
ENJOY!!!
