How to Make 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.
