Dear Henry,
Everyone needs a signature recipe. I had been searching for one for years without realizing I already had one.
It isn't fancy, it is just frog eye salad. It isn't traditional either. I don't use coconut or marshmallows either. Despite this, everyone seems to be a fan.
So -
1 lb Acini de Pepe, cooked, rinsed, and drained.
2 cups Whipped Cream (the real kind) with 3 TBS sugar and 2 TSP vanilla whipped in.
4 12 oz cans Very Cherry Fruit Cocktail, rinsed and drained
1 25 oz can Mandarin Oranges, rinsed and drained.
Mix together.
Serve.
I have yet to have leftovers.
