Re: [CnD] Throw Together Fruit Salad
Hi, I've got a question that I've been wanting to ask for a long time but have been way too embarrassed. In this recipe, as in many other recipes, I see the instruction to fold something into something else. What does that mean? Does it just mean to mix or stir it in?

This is for those impromptu parties/picnics. You can keep ingredients on hand to throw together at the last minute. ** Fruit Salad 1 20-oz. can pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained and juice reserved 1 15-oz. can fruit cocktail, drained and juice reserved 1 can mandarin oranges, drained (do not reserve this juice) 1 can diced peaches or pears, or one additional can of fruit cocktail, drained (do not reserve this juice 1 3.4-oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding and pie filling 1 8- or 9-oz. carton frozen whipped topping Combine drained fruit in bowl. In separate bowl combine dry pudding and reserved juice from fruit. Stir well being sure that all dry pudding is absorbed. Fold in whipped topping. Pour pudding mixture over fruit. Gently stir to combine. Note: There are several versions of this recipe floating around. I took one and modified it. Actually I only used three cans of fruit but found that there was too much pudding mixture. So I modified it again for you. For variations, coconut, marshmallows or nuts could be added. And I saw other recipes with frozen orange juice and cream cheese. The possibilities are endless. I was very happy with the way mine turned out. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Throw Together Fruit Salad
Yes, but gently, like barely stirring is how I've always done it.
