I get requests for this southern delicacy every holiday season. There are two key elements to this: drain the fruits EXTREMELY well, and let the salad set overnight for optimal flavor! Ingredients:
3 (30 ounce) cans fruit cocktail |
3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges |
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple tidbits |
1 (10 ounce) bag miniature marshmallows |
1 (10 ounce) bag coconut |
1 1/2 cups pecans |
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream |
Directions:
1. Open all the cans of fruit and dump into a large colander over a sink. mix lightly to combine the fruits. Allow to drain at least half an hour, stirring around periodically to allow maximum drainage.
2. Meanwhile, chop pecans. Combine chopped nuts in a large bowl with the coconut and marshmallows. Add the sour cream and mix lightly.
3. Fold in the drained fruit until all is incorporated. Cover tightly with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
