- 15 ounces mandarin oranges
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits
- 16 ounces maraschino cherries
- 3 cups fruit-flavored mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup shredded coconut optional
- 1 pint sour cream
Use a strainer to drain the juices from the fruit. Allow the fruit to drain for about 10 minutes to remove the moisture. Reserve 1/4 cup of pineapple juice.
Mix everything except the sour cream together in a large bowl.
Fold in sour cream.
Chill for 24 hours. Top with extra fruit and nuts if desired. Add a little of the reserved pineapple juice, a tablespoon at a time, if the salad needs more moisture.
