FRUIT BASKET UPSET

When I was 12 years old or so my parents bought me 'The Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls'.  This recipe was one of the first ones I made from it. It's good and fruity, sweet and cold. I still love it! 

1 can (8 oz.) fruit cocktail, drained
2 bananas, peeled & sliced
1 sm. apple, cut into sm. pieces
1/2 c. halved seedless green grapes
1/2 c. sliced strawberries, if you like
5 maraschino cherries, cut up
1/4 c. miniature marshmallows
1/2 c. whipping cream
2 tsp. maraschino cherry juice or 1-2 drops red food coloring
Place all ingredients, except last 2 ingredients, in large bowl. In a small bowl, beat with rotary egg beater until stiff whipping cream. Tint whipping cream with last ingredient. Fold whipped cream into fruit. Spoon salad into serving bowl; trim with fresh strawberries and green grapes. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with cinnamon toast. 4-6 servings
