15 ounce can mandarin oranges
15 ounce can peach slices, drained
8 ounce can pineapple tidbits
5 ounce jar maraschino cherries, stems removed
¾ cup fresh green grapes, halved lengthwise
¾ cup sweetened coconut flakes
¾ cup mini marshmallows
½ cup chopped pecans, optional
¼ cup diced crystalized ginger, candied ginger
4 ounces sour cream
4 ounces cool whip
Pinch of salt

Set a large colander in the sink. Pour the mandarin oranges, peaches, pineapple tidbits, and cherries in the colander. Once they are well drained, chop each peach slice into 3-4 pieces. Remove all cherry stems, then cut the cherries in half. Cut the green grapes in half. Chop the pecans (if using) and dice the crystalized ginger pieces. Set out a large salad bowl. Pour the drained fruit into the bowl. Add the grapes, coconut, marshmallows, pecans, crystalized ginger, sour cream, and cool whip. Add a good pinch of salt and gently mix the salad until everything is well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made up to 7 days in advance.
