Frozen Fruit Salad

Hey you asked for it, so here it is! This is the easiest side to make.

Frozen Fruit
Cream Cheese
Yogurt
Cool Whip

Chop up the frozen fruit. Add cream cheese, yogurt, and/or cool whip. Some I hear have even added sugar if you want to make it sweeter.

Fruit Soup

Some of you requested that I post the fruit recipe from the shower this morning. Here it is:

Fruit Soup

¾ c. sugar
1 c. water
1 c. peach juice (or another cup of water, which is what I always do instead)
3 Tb tapioca (be sure to use the “minute brand” quick cooking tapioca!)

6 oz orange juice concentrate
1 ½ c. water

2 cans mandarin oranges (with or without juice)
1 quart sliced peaches -
(you can use 1 large can of peach slices, but I would not add the heavy syrup – I always try to use Lite peaches that have been bottled with pear juice and water, in which case I add the juice. Also, cut up the slices so they are bite-size.)
2 c. fresh strawberries, sliced, just before serving
2 bananas, just before serving

1 bag frozen raspberries, thawed but still cool and firm (or an equivalent amount of fresh) or other berry mix
(raspberries give the juice a red tint, without raspberries it is an orange color. I almost always use a tri-berry mix which includes raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.)

Bring sugar, water, peach juice and tapioca to a boil. Continue boiling on medium high for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Some tapioca will be clear and other granules will have a white center. Take off heat. Let sit for 30 minutes. (This is when the tapioca will become more clear.)
Add 6 oz orange juice concentrate and 1 ½ c. water. Chill overnight.

Add mandarin oranges and peaches. Before serving add strawberries, bananas, and raspberries.
