Fruit Salad

Fruit salad. A staple in my home- and so versatile it should be such in every home!


I mix 20 lbs of fruit in one big metal bowl. The fruit can be cubed, sliced, diced, peeled- doesn’t matter. Apples don’t keep their color, they turn brown. They’re still good to eat but don’t look pretty. And bananas get slimy- which turns into rot. So keep them out of the mix unless you plan to devour it all in one day. Also, I prefer to use mostly fresh fruits but some folks like to add canned fruits to the mix. DON’T add the syrup in the cans to the mix right away. Save it for a topping.
I like to eat my fruit by the cupful, plain.
