Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • fine colander
  • spatula

Method
 

Directions
  1. Begin by opening all your canned fruits including fruit cocktail, pineapple chunks, and mandarin oranges. Pour them into a fine colander and let them drain for about 4 hours.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and orange-flavored gelatin powder. Mix until fully integrated and smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the drained canned fruits and mini marshmallows without smashing them.
  4. Transfer your Hawaiian Fruit Salad into a serving bowl or an airtight container. Cover it tightly and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Before serving, stir the salad gently to refresh the mixture and distribute the flavors evenly.

Notes

Ensure all canned fruits are thoroughly drained to prevent a soupy texture. Let the salad chill for at least one hour, but overnight is even better for marinating the flavors.
