Hey Mom, I Want Some Red Hot Fruit Salad! - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 cups seedless grapes (I used a mix of red & green)
1/2 cup raisins
2 fresh oranges (peeled & sectioned, I had clementines on hand & used 3 of them)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (well-drained)
1 kiwi (peeled & diced)
1/2 cup yoghurt (I used caramel flavor, but use vanilla just as often)
1/4 cup red-hot candies
2 bananas (sliced in 1/2 in slices)
Preparation
-
Combine yoghurt, red-hot candies & raisins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs, stirring at 30 min intervals.
Prepare & combine the remaining fruit ingredients in a bowl when nearly ready to serve. Add the bananas last.
Add the yoghurt, red-hots & raisin mix to the fruit. Stir well & refrigerate till ready to serve, but is best if served soon after mixing.
NOTES: A variety of fresh seasonal or canned fruits can be used w/equal success. The above was just what I had on hand. - Refrigeration time is important as it softens the candy & releases the cinnamon flavor & color. They will fully dissolve w/longer refrigeration time. Add chopped pecans or walnuts as an option & enjoy!
CAUTION: You will want to eat this sauce w/a spoon & forget about the fruit! Pls try to resist this temptation. Your family will love you for it.
