Fruit Salad

INGREDIENTS:
1 pint strawberries
1 lb seedless grapes, halved
3 kiwis, peeled & sliced
3 bananas, sliced
1 21 oz can peach pie filling

DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine fresh fruits. Gently mix in peach pie filling. Chill 1 hour before serving.

THOUGHTS:
Absolutely wonderful, but fairly expensive depending on the season and fruit prices.

Pool Punch

INGREDIENTS:
24 ounces Coconut Rum (aka 3 cups)
4 cups Pineapple Juice
1/2 cup Cranberry Juice

DIRECTIONS:
Mix it all together, grab some ice and a cup and head to the pool. This makes about 1/2 gallon of punch.

THOUGHTS:
The most fun thing about this drink is messing around with it by using Pineapple juices with orange, strawberry, mango, or whatever. You can also used spiced rum if you are low on the coconut rum.
