Ingredients
Instructions
Drain the fruit very well. Place the pineapple and mandarin oranges in a strainer and set aside to drain for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Drain the cherries and rinse with cold water and set aside.
Make the creamy dressing. Whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gently fold in 1/3 of the sour cream, then fold in the next 1/3, and then the final 1/3.
Mix it all together. Gently stir in the marshmallows, coconut, and pecans. Gently fold in the grapes, pineapple, Mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries. Top with a few more sprinkles of coconut and chopped pecans if desired.
Chill for 1 hour (up to overnight), then serve.
