I'm gonna give you exactly what she sent, and then tell you what changes I made. [COLOR=Blue]2 grapefruit 3 or 4 oranges (if you use small oranges, which have a better flavor, use 4) 3 apples (4 if they're small... Make sure what you get are juicy and sweet) red grapes, enough to give color and flavor maraschino cherries (about half a jar) pecans, probably about ˝ to ž cup chopped can of crushed pineapple, juice and all[/COLOR] Okay, so I get rid of the cherries completely and just add more grapes (the cherries are primarilly used for color - red - at the holidays). They also add sweetness, so I bought Mandarin oranges to get that back. I also put in a full cup of pecans. The whole thing comes out to about 1700 calories... I can usually get 10 servings out of the mixture (but these are big servings... To quote my mom, you can get 10-20). Which means 85-170 cals per serving."
