Notes
- If you'd like, replace the cool whip with homemade whipped cream.
- Be sure to drain the canned fruit, or the mixture will be runny.
- There's no need to prepare the Jell-O, simply add in the powdered mix!
- If you have time, allow the salad to chill in the fridge for at least a half hour. This will thicken it.
- You can replace the orange Jell-O with other flavors if you like.
- To Store: Keep your orange fluff covered in the fridge for up to three days.
