Melissa's Fruit Salad

red grapes 1-2 lbs (cut in half)
bananas 4-5 (cut in half longways then sliced)
red apples 3-4 (bite size pieces)
mini marshmellows 3/4-1 bag
stemless red marichino cherries-to taste about 12( cut in half)
Heavy whipping 16oz (more than you need really-use the excess for coffee and pie!)
sugar about 3/4cup to 1cup(until it thickens up)
vanilla about a tsp

Cut up all the fruit -you want about equall parts-i usually do grapes first, bananas, apples then cherries- put into large bowl.

In med size bowl put heavy whipping cream and mix with hand mixer med to high start adding sugar a little at a time untill it thickens up-add vanilla, keep beating till it stiffens up with peaks.

Add marshmellows to large bowl of fruit then with soft spatula add whipped cream a little at a time-only use enough to give a good coating to the salad. refrigerate for 1/2 an hour and Enjoy!

I usually try to make this as close to time it will be eaten as it doesn't stay great for long!
