I only remember the ingredients but can't remember the precise measurements for each ingredients I was planning to make it again for this year Easter Dinner and my Del Monte Cookbook is packed in one of our boxes in the storage unit since moved four yrs ago. Took me forever finally found the correct fruit cocktail Cream pie recipe.Thank you, very much.
