Alright, listen up, y’all! I’m gonna tell ya how to make this here creamy fruit salad with condensed milk. It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. Just simple, good eatin’. My grandpappy used to say, “Keep it simple, stupid!” and that’s what we’re gonna do.
First off, ya gotta get yourself some fruits. Now, don’t go gettin’ all fancy. Just pick what looks good and ripe. I like to use apples, them red ones are real sweet. And bananas, gotta have bananas, the yellow kind, not them green ones, them ain’t ripe yet. And some grapes, green or purple, whatever tickles your fancy. Oh, and maybe some oranges, if they’re on sale. You know them oranges can be pricey sometimes. If you find some strawberries or peaches then toss them in too, ain’t nothin’ wrong with more fixin’s.
- Apples – Get the red ones, they’re sweeter.
- Bananas – Yellow and ripe, don’t be a fool and use the green ones.
- Grapes – Any color is fine, whatever is cheap.
- Oranges – If they ain’t too expensive.
- Strawberries or Peaches – If ya can find ‘em or want to spend the money.
Now, wash them fruits real good. You don’t want no dirt or bugs in your salad, that’s just nasty. I just use plain ol’ water and my hands, nothin’ fancy. Then, ya gotta chop ’em up. Not too big, not too small. Just bite-sized pieces. Like I always say, “If it fits in your mouth, it’s the right size.”
This here creamy fruit salad ain’t no good without the creamy part, right? So, get yourself a can of that sweetened condensed milk. You know, the stuff in the little can with the sticky stuff inside. That’s the good stuff. Don’t be fooled by that evaporated milk in the tall can, that ain’t the same thing. It’s gotta be the sweetened condensed milk, ya hear?
Alright, now comes the easy part. Just dump all them chopped-up fruits into a big bowl. A big ol’ bowl, mind you, ’cause you’re gonna have a lot of fruit. Then, pour that whole can of sweetened condensed milk right on top. Yep, the whole can. Don’t be shy. And don’t forget a pinch of salt to bring out the sweetness. My mama always said a pinch of salt makes everything better. Just a little pinch though, you don’t want it salty.
Now, stir it all up real good. Make sure every piece of fruit is coated in that creamy, sweet goodness. I just use a big spoon, but you can use whatever you got. Just get in there and mix it up. And that’s it, y’all! Your creamy fruit salad is done. It’s that easy.
Now, you can eat it right away, but I like to put it in the icebox for a little while. Let it get all nice and cold. It’s so refreshing on a hot day, let me tell you. Perfect for a picnic or a potluck or just sittin’ on the porch swing. And the young’ins love it, keeps ‘em quiet for a bit.
Some folks like to add other things to their fruit salad with condensed milk. Like marshmallows or coconut or nuts. But I like to keep it simple. Just fruit and condensed milk. That’s all you need. But hey, if you wanna add some of that other stuff, go ahead. It’s your salad, you can do what you want.
And don’t you worry about leftovers, ’cause there ain’t gonna be any. This stuff is so good, it disappears faster than a jackrabbit in a cornfield. But if you do happen to have some left, just put it back in the icebox. It’ll keep for a day or two, maybe three if you’re lucky. But it’s always best fresh. Just like most things in life.
So there ya have it. My recipe for creamy fruit salad. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And that’s all that matters. Now go on and make yourself some. You won’t regret it. And remember, keep it simple, and don’t forget the sweetened condensed milk! That’s what makes it a creamy fruit salad after all, fruit alone is just fruit ain’t it? And always make enough to share, sharing is caring after all. You can make a new friend or make an old friend happy with something as simple as a tasty dish.
One more thing, if you’re feelin’ extra fancy, you can add a little bit of vanilla extract to the mix. Just a splash, don’t overdo it. It gives it a little somethin’ somethin’, you know? But it ain’t necessary. The salad is plenty good without it. Just a little somethin’ extra if you want it. Like putting on your Sunday best, it ain’t required but it’s nice every now and again. Now go on, get to makin’ this here fruit salad! I’ve told ya everything I know, it’s up to you now to do the rest.
