Something my Mom made often when I was growing up. Can use for fruit salad or dessert. Use what fruit you have. Coconut, chopped nuts, or small colored marshmallows are good add ins. She always added the marshmallows on Easter! Read more I like to let it chill for at least 30 minutes, although there is no reason you can't eat right away See less
