3 or 4 large nectarines, sliced
1 pint fresh strawberries, with leaves cut off and sliced lengthwise
1 pint grapes (2 cups)
1 kiwi, sliced
3 medium bananas, sliced
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks
1 (3 oz.) pkg. vanilla (or any flavor) instant pudding mix
3 tbsp. dry strawberry lemonade mix (I use Country Time)

In a large bowl, mix together all fruit ingredients, saving the juice of the canned mandarin oranges and the canned pineapple chunks in a separate container.

Combine leftover canned juice with instant pudding mix and lemonade mix. Pour mixture over fruit until just covered, stir.

Chill both Fantastical Fruit Salad and juice mix. Save any leftover juice mix for a fruit dip, if desired.
