Kentucky Christmas Fruit Salad: A Family Tradition

Instructions

 

 

 

1. Combine the Fruit

 

Drain the canned fruits and pour them into a large mixing bowl.

Slice the banana and apple, and add them to the bowl.

Peel and segment the orange, then mix it in.

Pour orange juice over the fruit mixture.

Sprinkle in sugar, adjusting to taste.

Gently stir everything together to evenly distribute the flavors.

3. Chill & Serve

 

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors blend.

Serve cold with a drizzle of heavy cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a traditional touch.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh fruit – If available, fresh peaches and pears add even more flavor.

Add crunch – Chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, give a nice texture.

A citrusy kick – A touch of lemon or lime zest can brighten up the flavors.

Make it extra festive – Add red and green cherries for a holiday look.
