How to Make Apricot Fluff Jello Fruit Salad

This fruit salad is my grandma's recipe and is so yummy! It's great as a summer dessert or snack on a hot day. Serve it at a pool party or BBQ. It's a quirky recipe because of the ingredients, but it is really good. You can also make substitutions or additions with different fruits or flavors of Jello. I also like to make it with strawberry jello and bananas. Another variation that tastes just as delicious is lemon and lime jello with canned mandarin oranges.
