I’ve never eaten this, but it’s from a Wheeler – so I know we can count on it!

1 – 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits
1 large can or 2 small cans mandarin oranges
1 pkg. instant lemon pudding
1 C. strawberries, quartered
1 C. bananas, sliced

Drain pineapple and oranges, reserving liquid. Prepare pudding using liquid from fruit in place of milk. In a bowl, combine the pineapple, oranges and strawberries; gently fold in pudding. Chill at least 2 hours. Add bananas just before serving.

1 – 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained; reserve juice
1 – 20 oz. can apricot halves, drained; reserve juice
2 – 10 oz. boxes frozen strawberries in light syrup
4 bananas
1 C. sugar

Heat sugar and 1 cup juice (from pineapple and apricots). Cut apricot halves in fourths. Combine all fruit and pour sugar mixture over the top. Put fruit mixture into 4- or 5-ounce paper cups or serving dishes and freeze. Remove from freezer 1 hour before serving.

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.
