Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples 
  • 2 medium fresh pears
  • 15 ounces canned peaches in light syrup

  • 1/2 cup fresh berries

Preparation

  1. Cut apples, pears and peaches into bite-size pieces. Cut strawberries into quarters.
  2. Place cut fruit in a large bowl. Set aside. 
  3. Place a metal bowl and metal beaters of a hand mixer in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes. Pour heavy cream into the bowl and mix with chilled beaters until stiff peaks form.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream until mixed well.

Helpful hints

  • Substitute with any low potassium fruits of your choice. Make it colorful! (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or a mixture).
  • This is my family’s favorite fruit salad recipe and a great potluck item. It’s best to eat it the same day because it can get watery overnight.
  • Reduce ingredients in half to make a smaller amount.
