1 (16 oz.) can mandarin oranges
1 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. vanilla pudding
1 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. vanilla tapioca pudding (do not use instant puddings)

Drain all fruits. Combine all juices and add enough water to make 3 cups.

Stir in the pudding mix; combine well.

Cook in microwave on full power for 6 to 7 minutes or until mixture has thickened. Stir 2 to 3 times while the mixture is cooking. Cool.

Mix in drained fruit. Cover tightly and refrigerate.

Variations: Peaches, pineapple, fruit cocktail, and apricots may be used, but any fruit will do: strawberries in season and grapes at Christmas time, etc. Avoid using bananas or blueberries to prevent salad from becoming discolored.
