HEY MOM, I WANT SOME RED HOT FRUIT SALAD!



Hey Mom, I Want Some Red Hot Fruit Salad! image

Occ things you do on pure impulse turn out to be neat surprises. I got 1 of those surprises last nite when DH and I decided to have a simple fruit salad for dinner. I made it, looked at it and then thought ... BORING! I wanted to do something to make it an esp tasty and out of the ordinary attention-getter. I was sorting thru my cupboard, ran across some red hot cinnamon candies I had just brought back from the US and I decided my search was over. Before you scoff and move on to the next recipe, I gotta tell you this is really good, has a great holiday look and would also be good for a unique pot-luck dish. My bet is it will have your family begging for this fruit salad or even thinking of it as a dessert. Time does not include refrigeration time.

Time 15m

Yield 4 1 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups seedless grapes (I used a mix of red & green)
1/2 cup raisins
2 fresh oranges (peeled & sectioned, I had clementines on hand & used 3 of them)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (well-drained)
1 kiwi (peeled & diced)
1/2 cup yoghurt (I used caramel flavor, but use vanilla just as often)
1/4 cup red-hot candies
2 bananas (sliced in 1/2 in slices)

Steps:

  • Combine yoghurt, red-hot candies & raisins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs, stirring at 30 min intervals.
  • Prepare & combine the remaining fruit ingredients in a bowl when nearly ready to serve. Add the bananas last.
  • Add the yoghurt, red-hots & raisin mix to the fruit. Stir well & refrigerate till ready to serve, but is best if served soon after mixing.
  • NOTES: A variety of fresh seasonal or canned fruits can be used w/equal success. The above was just what I had on hand. - Refrigeration time is important as it softens the candy & releases the cinnamon flavor & color. They will fully dissolve w/longer refrigeration time. Add chopped pecans or walnuts as an option & enjoy!
  • CAUTION: You will want to eat this sauce w/a spoon & forget about the fruit! Pls try to resist this temptation. Your family will love you for it.
