Made this as a fruit salad & IT'S GREAT TASTING, & although we only got 14 servings from it, I really can't quibble, especially when I get an extra large serving everytime! Pink Lady's I didn't find, but managed with a couple of Fujis! Thanks for a great tasting salad! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
