OVERNIGHT FRUIT SALAD



Overnight Fruit Salad image

I first tasted this rich, old-fashioned fruit salad at my wedding reception many years ago. The ladies who did the cooking wouldn't share the recipe at the time, but I eventually got it. I've made it for many meals, and our daughters copied the recipe when they married. -Eileen Duffeck, Lena, Wisconsin

FRUIT CUPS



Fruit Cups image

These are just awesome! I love to make them up and freeze them for breakfast or a quick snack. For kid-sized servings, use 5-oz cups and fill them with 1/2 c. of the fruit mixture (yield 24 1/2-cup servings). For a larger serving, freeze in 9-oz cups (yield 12 1-cup servings). If using the larger cup, you need to remove them about 15 minutes before serving. FYI, in my freezer I timed the 9-oz cup and it took 1 hour for it to be slushy and 2 hours to be completely frozen. Dont worry if you taste it before freezing and the mixture is a little bit tart, the flavors mellow after freezing. Great for once-a-month cooking. Enjoy!
