Orange Cream Fruit Salad

Last night we made a turkey dinner for the sole purpose of indulging eldest child in her need to have her mother's stuffing (since she was unable to make it home from the western regions for thanksgiving).  I didnt do a full-on thanksgiving dinner, just turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy and what I think is the best fruit salad on the face of the earth.  So here it is...again, its not all that "healthy".  The fruit is deceiving!

ORANGE CREAM FRUIT SALAD

1 (20 ounces) can pineapple chinks, drained

1 c seedless grapes, halved

1 pear, cored and chopped

10-12 fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced

1 (11 ounces) can mandarin orange sections, drained

2 medium bananas, sliced

2 medium grapples, cored and chopped

1 (3-1/2 or 3-3/4 ounces) pkg instant vanilla pudding mix

1-1/2 c whole milk

1/2 of 6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate

3/4 c dairy sour cream

In a large bowl, combine pineapple chunks, grapes, pears, strawberries, orange sections, bananas, and apples. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine dry pudding mix, milk and orange juice concentrate. Beat with rotary beater 1-2 2 minutes or until well blended. Beat in sour cream. Fold into the fruit mix. Cover and refrigerate several hours.
