FROZEN FRUIT COCKTAIL SALAD (TREAT)
Steps:
- Cream sugar, cream cheese and extract together. Fold in whipped cream and fruit cocktail until blended; then spoon into a mold or bowl or ice cube trays. (I use cupcake papers filled to about 1/2 to 2/3 full in a cupcake pan). Place Maraschino cherries on top to decorate, or you can fold them into the salad at the same time you fold in the fruit cocktail. Freeze until ready to serve/eat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl add the fruit cocktail with juice, pineapple tidbits with juice, drained mandarin oranges and the strawberries. Sprinkle the vanilla pudding mix over the fruit and juice and stir well. Fold in the cool whip. Refrigerate the creamy fruit cocktail salad for an hour then stir just before serving. *I get the Fruit Cocktail that has extra maraschino cherries. Try to get the brand that is in juice or light syrup. The heavy syrup is not recommended for this recipe.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe fruit.
- Wash all fruit thoroughly before using.
- If you are using canned fruit, drain it well and rinse it before using.
- For a refreshing salad, chill the fruit before serving.
