Fruit Cocktail Recipes

FRUIT COCKTAIL DELIGHT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine fruit cocktail and dry pudding mix; stir for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Chill until serving. Fold in marshmallows just before serving. Garnish with nuts if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

HOMEMADE FRUIT COCKTAIL

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, heat sugar, water, lime juice and basil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; discard basil sprig.
• In large glass bowl, mix nectarines, peaches, cherries and pineapple. Pour sugar syrup over fruit; stir to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.

FRUIT "COCKTAIL"

Steps:

• Drain the fruit cocktail and reserve the syrup. Put the fruit into a bowl, pour the whiskey over and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight. In a pitcher, combine the reserved syrup with the nectars and refrigerate.
• Combine the fruit and whiskey mixture with the nectars mixture. Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve.

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
• Add eggs, fruit cocktail and vanilla and mix all ingredients well (by hand--do not use electric mixer); batter will seem very thick at first (if you use good fruit cocktail that has mostly fruit, not all juice), but this is the way it should be (the juice in the fruit cocktail is the only liquid in this recipe except, of course, the eggs).
• Pour into a greased 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
• Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
• This cake is best with Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing #7062.

FRUIT COCKTAIL SALAD

Steps:

• Drain the juice out of the canned fruit cocktail. Reserve 1/4 of the fruit cocktail for the top.
• Add fruit cocktail, mini marshmallows, and cool whip to a medium to large sized bowl.
• Stir or fold the cool whip together with the fruit and marshmallows until well combined.
• Serve the salad in a clear glass bowl and flatten the top out with a spatula. Add some extra marshmallows and the reserved fruit cocktail to the top of the salad. This lets people know what is in the salad.
• Makes a total of 10 servings and I used a ½ cup for each serving.
