Default Fruit Salad

My mother always made this and we loved it! I still make it. The amount of fruit you will need will depend on how many you need to serve.

Oranges, peeled, sectioned and cut into pieces
Bananas, sliced
Canned Pineapple chunks
Apples (do not peel), sliced and cut into pieces
Seedless Grapes Halved
Pecans (optional, but absolutely necessary for me!)

Combine all. Beat 1/2 pint whipping cream, adding sugar a little at a time. Gently stir in 1/2 to 1 tsp. vanilla. (The amount of whipped cream might have to be increased depending on the amount of fruit you use.)

When ready to serve, fold into cut up fruit.

MMMMMMMMMMMM!!
Yummy
