FRUIT SALAD 
1 lg. box cook and serve vanilla pudding
Canned fruit - enough to make 3 c. of juice

Drain fruits reserving the juice. I usually use 2 cans fruit for salad, 2 cans mandarin oranges, 1 can pineapple tidbits, and 1 jar maraschino cherries.

Cook pudding as directed on package substituting the juice for the milk called for on pudding box. (I usually cook in the microwave for about 7 minutes total). Let this mixture cool slightly so as not to cook fruits. Then add canned fruit to the pudding mixture.

This will keep up to a week and still be good. Just before serving you can add any fresh fruits that are in season for variety in taste and color.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
