A lovely friend once gave to me,
A most delightful recipe.
Each time I use it I feel I spend,
A precious moment with that friend.

I, too, have a favorite recipe,
Often enjoyed by my family.
May I share my recipe with you,.
Not an original, but tried and true

And with this offering I send,
The warmest greeting from a friend.

Grandma's Fruit Salad

1 11 oz can Fruit Cocktail, drained
1 15 oz can cut Pineapple, drained
1 Banana, sliced
1 Red Apple, chopped
1 Green Apple, chopped
½ tub Whipped Cream

Combine first 5 ingredients. Fold in whipped cream and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Additions can include: 1 can mandarin oranges, 16 oz. yogurt in place of whipped cream


This is a recipe straight from Grandma Macklin's Thanksgiving table. Every year, we have it. You can add any fruit you like, but since this is traditional for our fam, this is how we like it.
