Ingredients

  • ½ cup whipping cream (I do not use heavy, just regular whipping cream)
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, washed and sliced
  • 1 15.25 oz can fruit cocktail
  • 1 11oz can mandarin oranges
  • ¾ cup miniature marshmallows
  • cup shredded coconut
  • 10 Maraschino cherries optional.

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl or stand up mixer, beat whipping cream until peaks are stiff. Set aside.
  • Drain the fruit cocktail and oranges really well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix grapes, fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges and coconut together.
  • Fold whipping cream into the fruit.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
You can use an 8 oz container of cool whip in place of whipped cream. 
Top with a few Maraschino cherries.
