Fruit Salad Dessert

By: Muriel Fay 
"I AM 83 years old and my mother has been gone for many years, but I'm still using her best recipes. She was a gourmet cook before anyone was using that term and before everyone was counting calories. This was one of our family's favorite desserts when I was growing up, and it's just as good two generations later! --Muriel Fay Walton, Kentucky"
