Frozen Fruit Salad
"I found this one day while waiting in the Dr's office in a small paper. I copied (really, I didn't tear it out) the recipe and made and froze it that evening. It was good to have when my girlfriends dropped over about lunchtime. I served it with an iced glass of tropical tea. We all three decided it would make a good fruit dessert also. I used the peach pie filling. Dh tried it that evening and even tho he usually doesn't care for fruity stuff, declared it a winner. I like it because it freezes and keeps well to have on hand for unexpected guest. Its also quick and easy to prepare. Prep time does not include the freezing time."

I just recently ate some of this and WOW. I didn't make it myself but the person who made it used cherry pie filling and pineapple only...no mandarin or nuts. They put them in a silicon muffin tin for portion size and to prevent from having to cut it. I loved it! -
I made this the other day, and have to say it is delicious. My mom used to make a frozen fruit salad in the 50's and 60's, and this is every bit as good, and much easier. Make sure that you freeze it at least overnight, as it takes awhile to freeze. My new fav. frozen salad. Will be great for Easter with the ham. birdsnest -
Very good. I made up this recipe and put it into the freezer. I pulled it out when I needed a dessert. That was great not to have to worry about what to serve. It is light and has a wonderful flavor (I used cherry pie filling)It was loved by all. Thank-you for this wonderful recipe.

I made this dessert for company and I was so disappointed . The dessert texture was very strange and hard. I guess I was expecting a more smooth texture. -
Excellent recipe and great to have in the freezer. I used peach pie filling and pecans. I feel it needs a little more than 15 minutes before eating -- 15 minutes to slice it is great but I think another 10 minutes before eating. This is one recipe I will certainly make again. It's nice and light. I think it is a dessert.

I am retired and live in Oklahoma. We use to raise scottish terriers, but now just enjoy having 3..one of which is a rare wheatland scotty. We have 2 grown daughters and my oldest has my grandson & granddaughter. Katy is almost 13 now, and I love and cherish the time she spends with me. My youngest dd is FINALLY having a baby,,a little girl due on April 1 '05. We are very excited! Hubby and I love taking out our pontoon boat every chance we get...we love to fish, but I'm happy just to be out on the water :) I love all kinds of cookbooks, especially southwest and cooking for two meals. Of course Zaar is the best recipe site on the net! I've started copying zaar recipes for my granddaughter and she says she'll never be able to make them all :) My hobbies include my dogs,,grandkids, painting art hobbies, and most crafting...love garage sales too!! I really love working outside in my gardens, but health and "old bones" keep me from it more than it used to. My hubby and I love to travel and also fish. I have used this site for awhile now and I'm embarrassed I haven't shared more of mine. Guess I've been busy making yours! When I have a question, the members here are so friendly, helpful and very quick to answer back! Of course, you've figured by now I love to talk!! I have to say my love for cooking comes from my mom. She is one of those cooks that just gets into the kitchen and starts cooking with no recipes and everything she makes is wonderful! She's about the best "all around cook" I know! I'd like to think I "inherited" some of her cooking intuition :) But getting close to 80 (sorry mom, but you sure don't look it) she cooks circles around me!
