Open the six cans of fruit cocktail . Set a strainer over a large glass or bowl. Dump four of the cans of fruit cocktail into the strainer to remove the juice. The juice from these four cans can be saved for something else, or makes a great juice drink. There is usually someone waiting in my kitchen to gladly drink it!

Tips & Warnings
You might have to keep lots of fruit cocktail on hand, once your family has tried this. My grown children expect this dish at all family gatherings, and are very disappointed if it's not there!
Optional Ingredients:
After you've used this recipe a few times, you might like to "spice it up" a notch. Try slicing a couple of bananas into the fruit salad, just before serving it. You can also toss in some chopped nuts. For a festive holiday look, stir in one can of cherry pie filling just before serving. This will turn your dessert a pretty shade of pink!
