Bettys' Fruit Salad ~ This is the best!

Betty is the mother-in-law of Homeschool3 ~ and many years ago she made this wonderful fruit salad and shared the recipe with me ~ it really is the best!

Betty's Fruit Salad

1 (29oz) can fruit cocktail, drained
1 (14oz) can Pineapple chunks, drained
2 (11oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
2 sliced bananas
1 apple cored & diced
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup mini marshmallows
10 oz sour cream
1 lemon, juiced

In a large bowl pour lemon juice over bananas and apple. Add the rest of the drained fruit to this - then the coconut and marshmallows. Fold in sour cream. Chill and enjoy!

Just a side note - I like to keep all of the juice I've drained from the fruit and use it to marinate meat in - I just season it up with whatever I'm feeling like, and usually add some chicken and marinate overnight in a zip-lock then grill.
