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.
