I only had 1/3 of the marshmellows it called for so I used that many. It was a great salad--I don't know why it called for that many--I will always make it with 1/3.

This is a family tradtion at our home with a few changes. I drain all my fruit the overnight and the next morning mix sour cream, marshmellows, pinapples, oranges and then I use a few cans of mixed fruit instead of the cherries then mix it all together. Then we take the fruit juice and make our family punch. My children come home every Holiday expecting it! Its a healthy and delicious receipe.

this was a hit with my family. My son had turned the leftovers into a pie with a granola crust. I was actually surprised at how good it turned out. I added banannas to the fruit and I think next time i'm also going to add frest peaches. I like this a lot!

I've been making this for years. Good for pot lucks. In my version, I also add one can of peaches, add 3 or 4 bananas, and green and/or red seedless grapes. I don't use the cherries.

I have made this per the recipe and really enjoyed the fact that it was not too sweet. I used fruit w/o sweetened syrup, and half pkg of marshmallows. If you use the low-fat or fat free scour cream, it is a fairly healthy salad. I have added pecans and toasted coconut on occasion just to change it a bit. Its quick to prepare.

Scrumptious! I had this at MOPS the other day and came home craving more. I can't believe it's the sour cream that makes all the difference : )

My Mother who is deceased made a fruit salad which is very similar. I made this at Thanksgiving and it was delicious. I substituted the sour cream with Heavy Cream and added walnuts and coconut it was absolutely great.

Who dosen't love "fluffy" salads? I like to use colored marshmallows and add a half cup or so of pecans. If I have it, I'll throw in a cup or so of flaked sweetened coconut. This recipe always bends well to whatever canned fruit you have on hand.

Made this to go with Thanksgiving dinner. I was a little worried about the sour cream, but it turns out great! I doubled the fruit, but otherwise left the recipe alone. Everyone loved it. It easily fed 15+ people. The longer it sits the better it tastes (the second day the leftovers were even better).
