Fruit Delights For Your Bridal Shower

Fruit Delights

I came across some recipes in an old cookbook called "Gems From Georgia Kitchens" that you might like.
They sound kind of girly and would be perfect for a bridal shower and they're really good.

The first one is a fruity drink that isn't exactly a punch. It's called

Cold Fruit Delight

1 can Mandarin orange sections 2 cups membrane-free grapefruit sections
1 package frozen strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 package frozen red raspberries 1 can pineapple tid-bits


Drain orange sections. Mix all other fruits with their juices. Chill in bowl set in cracked ice. Serve in punchcups or small brandy glasses, even a bigger wine glass. A less expensive alternative would be pretty plastic glasses. Now they come in beautiful colors and look very impressive. Fill them about half full then fill up with chilled champagne as served. Garnish with mint sprigs. This drink would also be good for a wedding breakfast. You could use sparkling wine instead of champagne or if an aloholic drink is not your bag use ginger ale.

Another great recipe that I had as a young woman at my grandmother's is a wonderful dessert that is so easy and so delicious. Everybody will love it. It is called

HEAVENLY HASH

Large can fruit cocktail
Small can crushed pineapple
Small jar maraschino cherries
1 cup chopped pecans, more or less depending on taste (optional)
1 cup fresh whipped cream , more or less
1/2 coconut, more or less depending on taste
Bag of miniature marshmallows or large ones cut in quarters.

I could never get enough of this. It really was heavenly.
