1 large can pineapple tidbits
12 oz. Cool Whip
1 can diced peaches

Notes:  Don't fret over the size of the cans of fruit that you use.  I'm a rule follower and it concerned me that the exact sizes were not listed.  (Ok, I'm not good at following recipes as is evident in previous recipe posts...)  Anyway, I called my friend who is a member of the Lynn family... she gave me a copy of their family cookbook... and asked her.  I read her the recipe and her response was CLASSIC.  It is a conversation that I will never forget...  She said, "oh, that recipe.  It sounds disgusting.  You'll have to let me know how it is."  She said this as I was prepping the recipe for dinner THAT night!!!"

Kendall picked this recipe.  Probably because of the title of the recipe.  Ok, not probably... but definitely.

Verdict:  Don't let Kendall pick out recipes based solely on the title.
