4th of July Fruit Salad Recipe

Hi there! I have for you a special fruit salad recipe. I remember my mom making it at Christmastime, strangely enough, and she got the recipe from her mom! Of course this fruit salad has plenty of fresh, vibrant, delicious fruit. But it also has a very yummy sauce that makes those delicious fruit flavors taste EVEN better! Perfect for summer, this fruit salad is a great no-bake dessert option, or just a colorful summer snack. Enjoy!

What You'll Need:
- 1-15 oz can of dice peaches
- 1-15 oz can of fruit cocktail
maybe about 5 cups of fresh fruit? you can add more - I used:
~ 1 cup of halved red grapes
~ 1 cup of fresh blueberries
~ 1 cup of fresh, quartered strawberries
~ 2 sliced bananas (you can add more!)
and
- 1-3oz box of cook-and-serve vanilla pudding (make sure it's cook-and-serve, not instant)

What You'll Do:
1. drain and SET ASIDE the juice of the two cans of fruits
2. Place the drained fruit into a large mixing bowl
3. in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, place the fruit juice and vanilla pudding mix
4. cook the juice and pudding mix, according to the pudding directions (microwave or cook on the stovetop, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a boil; remove from heat, and let cool completely; I place it on a hot pad, in my fridge, until the temp comes down to at lease room temperature)
5. Chop the grapes, strawberries, and bananas, and place into your mixing bowl, with the drained, canned fruit
6. Once your fruit-juice-pudding sauce has cooled, pour it all over the fruit in your bowl
7. toss all the fruit in the sauce, until the fruit is well mixed and the sauce has coated all of the fruit
8. serve or stick in the fridge, until cooled or you are ready to serve the fruit salad
9. Enjoy!
