Comment préparer Mom's Favorite Fruit Salad

Drain the fruit cocktail (20 ounces), reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine reserved fruit juice, 1 (3 ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix, and 1 (3 ounce) package of strawberry jello.
Whisk until smooth.
Add 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the liquid is clear and the tapioca is cooked through.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of mini marshmallows until melted and fully incorporated.
Let the pudding mixture cool completely to room temperature. (Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming).
In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups of your favorite fruits (such as mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, and grapes).
Pour the cooled pudding mixture over the fruit.
Gently fold to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
