*Dreamy Fruit Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. vanilla tapioca pudding
1 1/2 c. mixed fruit juices
1 pkg. dessert topping, prepared
1 (17 oz.) can fruit cocktail, drained
1 (8 oz.) can chunk pineapple, drained
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 c. miniature marshmallows
1 or 2 sliced bananas or other fresh fruit, if desired

Preparation

Be sure to drain all canned fruit well.
(I put it all together in strainer and let it set for quite a while.) Prepare pudding as directed, substituting fruit juice for milk.
Cool pudding thoroughly.
Blend in prepared topping (I used Dream Whip), fruit cocktail, pineapple, oranges and marshmallows.
Mix well.
Just before serving, add bananas and other fresh fruit, as desired.
