My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Salad - Fruit Salad

This isn't your typical fruit salad, but when I stop to think that fresh produce wasn't as available as it is today.  We're so fortunate to have access to almost any fresh fruit we want year round.

Give this recipe a try next time you can't find your favorite fresh fruit.

1 can peach or apricot pie filling
1 can white seedless grapes
1 can mandarin oranges
1 can pineapple chunks
1 cup miniature marshmallows
slice in an apple or banana, if desired

Sounds pretty tasty.
