Ingredients
  

  • 1 30- oz can fruit cocktail in juice
  • 1 20- oz can pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1 8- oz can mandarin orange slices
  • 1 10- oz bag mini marshmallows
  • 1 24- oz container of sour cream
  • 1 box orange flavored gelatin

Instructions
 

  • Pour all the fruit in a colander over the sink and allow the juices to drain. Allow the fruit to drain for four hours to ensure that it is as dry as possible. If you would like, you can put a bowl or towel under the colander and place it in the fridge. If you are in a hurry, you can use a clean kitchen towel to dry the fruit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and orange jello. Stir until completely combined.
  • Add the fruit and marshmallows to the bowl. Stir to coat.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, four hours is better, overnight is great!
  • Stir right before serving; serve chilled!

Notes

To dry the fruit fast you can put it in a salad spinner or use a clean lint-free kitchen towel to dry the fruit by hand. The dryer you can get the fruit, the less "soupy" the finished salad will be.
