AUNT SHIRLEY'S "TROPIC-TANG" FRUIT SALAD



Aunt Shirley's

This is a unique Fruit Salad that is wonderful to have during the summer. (Although, I also find myself craving this during the winter months too!) I always have requests to bring this to family functions and never have any left over. As a result, I always double this recipe when preparing it for family gatherings.

FLORIDA FRUIT SALAD



Florida Fruit Salad image

This is from a church cookbook. It sounds like it would be different with the use of TANG. I loved TANG as a kid, so did my kids. I haven't bought TANG in years, but might have to make an exception and buy a jar to try this. Note: the original recipe did not say what size can of pineapple, I'm just guessing a size so you can use your own judgement there. This is a recipe you could add or omit any fruit you like, or it would work with canned fruit coctail instead of the fruits.
