Answer 3

Open a can of pineapple chunks or tidbits and empty into a big bowl.Do not drain!
Add fresh fruit of your choice such as sliced bananas, apple cubes, kiwi slices, peaches, mandarin oranges, grapes. I have not used cantalope or watermelon.
Stir the fruit with the pineapple then drain off the pineapple juice.
Sprinkle dry instant pudding over the fruit and stir. Don't use the whole box of instant pudding...start with just a couple of tablespoons and see if it looks like you would eat it. When it looks good then you can add coconut or chopped nuts across the top if you want.
Stirring the fresh fruit in the pineapple juice keeps it from turning dark. Sometimes I only use pineapple, bananas and apples. The more fresh fruit you add...the more instant pudding to use.
This is really easy!

Answer 4

We use this a lot with our family and it's pretty much no work

1 fresh pineapple cut and cored from the produce section
1 container fresh strawberried (washed, destemed, and cut in half)
1/2 bunch of bananas sliced

sprinkle a bit of lemon juice over the fruit so the bananas don't turn brown, chill and serve.

My 10 year old can do this one because there's so little cutting.

Answer 5

If you want to really impress, try cutting a watermelon to look like a basket and scoop out the inside. Then ball the watermelon, catelope, honey dew, throw some blueberries, maybe some strawberries and mix that all up and put it in the basket.

That shows you put a lot of thought and work into it. Forget the cans of fruit, this will be sure to impress.

Answer 6

i just make fruit trays when i want to keep it simple. pineapple (canned in ok but fresh is better), honeydew, watermelon, strawberries, cantalope, green and red grapes, and orange slices. i make fruit dip. 1 brick cream cheese & 2 jars marshmellow creme (fluff). just keep the 2 to 1 ratio when making bigger bowls. add a dash of the pinapple juice or vanilla for extra flavor. it's all about the presentation so arrange it nicely on a black or white tray with curly leaf lettuce underneath. the lettuce not only makes the colors pop, but it also helps with the juices of the melons. makes a great impression, first thing to go, something for everyone adults and kids alike!

u can also make red white and blue cups which would just be getting the clear plastic cups and putting in strawberries and layering them with cool whip and topping with blueberries.

Answer 7

peel and mix your favorite fruit... I usually use Pineapple, Kiwi, Banana, red apples, blueberries, green grapes sliced thin, raspberries, strawberries, pink grapefruit, and peaches.

Mix the fruit, add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/cup orange juice (not from concentrate). This can feed about 20-30 people.

the hardest part is peeling the fruit!
enjoy

Answer 8

Answer 9

Boil the milk over medium flame.

Take about 1 cup of warm milk and add the jello vanilla pudding mix to it.

Stir till it becomes smooth, then add to the rest of the milk.

Add the condensed milk to it and mix well.

When the milk cools down to the room temperature keep it in the fridge to cool.

Mix the fruits to the milk along with the saffron and cardamon. Put the milk back in the fridge.

Serve cold.
