Winter Fruit Salad

Source: Great-Grandma Skouson via Mom

Ingredients
3 apples, diced
3 bananas, sliced
3 cups of miniature marshmallows (more or less)
1 can pineapple chunks, drained
2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
3/4 c. chopped pecans
2 1/2 c. cream, whipped
10 maraschino cherries, halved & drained on paper towels

Directions
1. Stir together apples, bananas, marshmallows, pineapple, oranges, and 1/2 c. pecans in a large bowl.
2. Stir in most of the whipped cream, saving just enough to spread over the top. (If you're serving this at a Christmas dinner, now's the time to put it in your pretty bowl.)
3. Spread the rest of the whipped cream over the top, sprinkle with the rest of the chopped pecans, and dot with maraschino cherry halves.

P.S.--Grandma Skouson used 1/2 c. fruit cocktail, and navel oranges
instead of mandarin oranges.
