I make a similar fruit salad. You can change the fruits out to your taste.

Drain all the fruit as you open the cans and use this for your family size instant vanilla pudding.
1 lg can pineapple tidbits or crushed
1 can chopped sliced peaches
1 lg can Fruit Cocktail
2 sm cans mandarin oranges
3 lg or 5 small bananas
1 large Cool whip (I use about 2/3 of a 16 oz container)
1 family size instant vanilla sf pudding.

Use all the juice you drained and mix the instant pudding well. Add this to the bowl with the fruit and stir well. Add your Cool Whip and stir gently. Top with pecans or chopped cherries for garnish. Refrigerate and serve chilled.

You can add more fruits or leave some out. Fresh Blueberries will turn the whole dish blue. Fresh Strawberries add some zip. I have used the White Chocolate jello and it was good. Hadn't thought about the Butterscotch. The most importance for us is the pineapple and bananas. You can halve this recipe by using smaller cans or less of a variety of fruits. Overall, just be creative!
