Fruit salad recipe?

My mom used to make this fantastic fruit salad, but has since lost the recipe. I know all the ingredients (I think) but I'm not sure about the ratio. It contains marshmallows, mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, pineapple, whip cream, cherries, and cream cheese. Does anyone have this recipe or a similar one? Thanks!

Fruit salad recipe?
In mine I use sour cream, but here's the recipe!



2 cans chunky pineapple

2 cans fruit cocktail

2 cans tropical fruit cocktail

4 cans mandarin oranges

1 large container sour cream

1 bag miniature marshmallows

1 small jar Maraschino cherries



Drain the liquid from all the cans of fruit. Thin the sour cream with whichever fruit juice you would like. Mix all the ingredients together with the thin sour cream.
Reply:everything in moderation. ample amounts of all of the fruit. a few scoops of cream cheese. as many marshmallows to suit your fancy. and whip cream piled high. theres no wrong way to make a fruit salad everything thing is based on preference. chop the fruit up nice and pretty and dive in spoon first.

Reply:My mother made *Five Cup Salad*... You add a cup of mandarin oranges, a cup of crushed pineapple, a cup of sour cream. a cup of,marshmallows and a cup of coconut. Double triple the recipes if you like. You can also add nuts and cherries. If you don't like sour cream use cool whip. Chill and serve.
