Notes: Variation: Fresh pineapple can be substituted for the canned pineapple. Marshmallows and the drained fruit cocktail juice can be omitted. Instead add 1 15 oz. can S&W brand CA Sun Peaches in Light Syrup, cutting up peaches and adding them in with the other fruit. Drain peach juice and add to the drained mandarin orange juice to form the 3 c. juice (adding water if necessary to equal 3 cups). Coconut can also be reduced to 1/2 c. according to taste.
