"Hawaiian" Fruit Salad
This is an easy "Hawaiian" fruit salad made with sour cream, canned fruit cocktail, and orange Jello, perfect for big crowds and picnics.
Ingredients
- 30-oz can fruit cocktail in juice, not syrup
- 20-oz can pineapple chunks in juice, not syrup
- 8-oz can mandarin orange slices in water, not syrup
- 10-oz bag mini marshmallows
- 24-oz sour cream full fat
- 3-oz box orange flavored gelatin
Instructions
- Pour all the fruit in a colander over the sink and allow the juices to drain. Press gently with a clean kitchen down so to help remove the moisture through the colander and help dry the fruit. If you would like, you can put a bowl or towel under the colander and place it in the fridge for an hour or two. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and package of orange jello powder. Stir until completely combined.
- Add the drained fruit and marshmallows to the bowl. Stir to coat.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, four hours is better.
- 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.
