Peach Pie Salad

This recipe is super easy and inspired by Oma who traditionally serves a jellylike salad on special occasions.  

19 oz peach pie filling (540 ml)
14 oz pineapple tidbits, drained (398 ml)
14 oz fruit cocktail, drained (398 ml)
2 sliced bananas
1 cup seedless green grapes
1 cup small marshmallows

Put pie filling into bowl.  Stir in drained pineapple and fruit cocktail.  Add sliced bananas. Add grapes and marshmallows.  Stir together.  Turn into a serving bowl and chill for several hours before serving.  Serves 15.

This year we enjoyed the salad on Christmas Eve with a spiral ham and Amy's hash brown potato casserole.

Other ingredients that could be added or substituted are  red maraschino cherries, canned mandarin oranges, diced apple or nuts.

If you are unable to find peach pie filling try apple pie filling along with a can of sliced peaches.
