Made this for a holiday potluck we attended & it was a big hit, probably for the nostalgia as much as anything ~ It certainly was for me! The only thing I changed was to add a bit more of both the pineapple & the grapes! I also left out the marshmallows, but then they were optional anyway! My mom used to make something similar to this during the holidays, & I thoroughly enjoyed it this time as much as I did way, way back then! Thanks so much for posting it!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
