1 small box tapioca pudding, not instant (in a box like Jello)
1 small box vanilla pudding not instant
1 can peaches, drained
1 can fruit cocktail, drained
1 can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 can mandarin oranges, drained

Mix the 2 puddings in a saucepan. Cook as directed, but substitute milk with the fruit juice. (I believe it will call for a total of 4 cups of liquid. I only use 3 3/4 because you still get juice with the fruit. Four cups would make the salad a little runny.) Let the pudding cool. Add the fruit. (I like to add some green grapes, halved.) It calls for 4 to 5 bananas, but I don’t put them in the salad. I cut them up on top of the individual servings. It makes quite a bit of salad and the bananas turn brown. A visual thing with me. My kinds like to put Cool Whip on top of their salad.
