I have made this for years but now I change it to what is in the pantry. I add drained fruit cocktail and sliced peaches, some pecans add flavor and cherries add color. I pick up cans of some tropical fruit cocktail at Walgreens and that is good too. You don't have to add the sour cream all the time, sometimes vanilla or fruit flavored yogurt works good. I have chopped up apples and fresh oranges and added that, this is basically a fruit salad.
