Prevent Bananas from Browning

To keep bananas in a fruit salad from turning brown, squeeze the juice of an orange, lemon or lime into a bowl and then slice the banana right into it. Stir gently to coat all sides, and remove the banana slices with a slotted spoon just before adding to your salad.

I love this recipe. I have served this soup at many party and it has always been a great hit. I served it at wedding showers and holidays. Everyone wants this recipe. The only thing I did different is use corn starch instead of the tapioca.
