- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
4 1 cup servings
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 2 cups seedless grapes (I used a mix of red & green)
- 1⁄2 cup raisins
- 2 fresh oranges (peeled & sectioned, I had clementines on hand & used 3 of them)
- 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (well-drained)
- 1 kiwi (peeled & diced)
- 1⁄2 cup yoghurt (I used caramel flavor, but use vanilla just as often)
- 1⁄4 cup red-hot candies
- 2 bananas (sliced in 1/2 in slices)
directions
- Combine yoghurt, red-hot candies & raisins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs, stirring at 30 min intervals.
- Prepare & combine the remaining fruit ingredients in a bowl when nearly ready to serve. Add the bananas last.
- Add the yoghurt, red-hots & raisin mix to the fruit. Stir well & refrigerate till ready to serve, but is best if served soon after mixing.
- NOTES: A variety of fresh seasonal or canned fruits can be used w/equal success. The above was just what I had on hand. - Refrigeration time is important as it softens the candy & releases the cinnamon flavor & color. They will fully dissolve w/longer refrigeration time. Add chopped pecans or walnuts as an option & enjoy!
- CAUTION: You will want to eat this sauce w/a spoon & forget about the fruit! Pls try to resist this temptation. Your family will love you for it.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
