1 large can crushed or tidbit or chunked pineapple, drained
1 jar(s) cordial cherries, drained

1/4 c dry sherry (you may add up to 1/3rd cup of sherry)

Steps:

  • 1. I also enjoy adding a cup of fresh blueberries to this fruit salad for added color because your strawberries tend to turn some of the fruit reddish in hue. So what? You will be praised for such a delicious fruit salad dish. (Although this is versatile in that you may add most any fruit to this dish, I do not recommend adding coconut. It's simply too chewy for this salad. Also, I have never tried adding pecans, but it may be ok. Cool Whip in the squirt can is beautiful atop this salad. You will not go wrong serving this dish at your next big family function. Enjoy!
