Mom's Fruit Salad

It would not be Thanksgiving or Christmas without this salad... everyone loves it.


2 cans pineapple tidbits or chunks in heavy syrup (drained very well, even overnight) If using chunks cut them again.
2-3 three apples peeled or not
lots of green & red grapes cut in half seeded - put on paper towels to absorb moisure
6 bananas or more
1 jar of maraschino cherries - Cut in half and place cut side down on paper towel to drain excess moisture
a bag of miniature marshmallows
2 pints heavy whipping cream

Whip the cream till quite stiff (don’t over whip or you’ll have butter)
Sweeten with 2-3 TB sugar
Add 1/2 tsp cream of tarter at the same time.

Mix all together. You can add other fruits if you like.
