Basic Pantry Staples ed. 12 & 13

Edition 12 -Canned Fruit and Edition 13 - Canned Pie Filling

Canned fruit can make a quick salad or refreshing snack. Pineapple could be used to top a ham, mango in a chutney, to make a smoothie, you name it. Fruit is low in calories and some of it is very high in nutrients such as vitamin C.

Pie filling isn't just for pie! You can use it to cover that mistake you made in frosting a cake, as an add on for ice cream, or to sweeten the deal on your cheesecake.

Ed.12/13 Recipe
Fruit Salad

21 oz can cherry or peach pie filling
11 oz mandarin oranges, drained
20 oz chunk or pineapple tidbits, drained
10 oz pkg frozen sweetened strawberries
4 bananas, sliced

In a large bowl, combine all fruits except bananas. Refrigerate until strawberries thaw. Add bananas before serving. Add additional fresh fruits to your liking.
