Frozen Fruit Sour Cream Salad image

My Mom gave me a recipe box years ago. I treasure it because it has handwritten recipes from her and my late Nana (her mother). I do remember that my Mom got this recipe from Mrs. Barbara Taylor, our Winston-Salem neighbor, and served it over a leaf of lettuce (fancy presentation back then) in my youth. It's a delicious summer side.
