Quick Fruit Medley
Whenever I take this eye-catching fruit salad to a party or gathering, people ask for the recipe. I like to use dark sweet cherries and blueberries to give this blend its distinctive flavor.

Reviews
I love how quick this recipe is! It's easy enough to substitute whatever fruits you like or have on hand. I also love that the canned fruit juices serve as a sauce without adding extra calories.
This recipe is requested by my kids at every party and is always gone whether I am serving to adults or kids. I make at least a double batch each time. I do substitute frozen or fresh raspberries or blackberries for the blueberries as my kids don't like blueberries.
