- 1 cup cantaloupe balls
- 1 cup strawberries, halved

Method
In a saucepan combine the pineapple juice, pudding mix, and orange juice. Cook and stir until thick; remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, cut pineapple in half lengthwise through the green top. Loosen and remove the pineapple flesh from the shell; remove and discard core. Cut the pineapple into bite-size wedges. (Use 2 cups for this salad; cover and chill any remaining pineapple for another use.) Chill the pineapple shells. In a large bowl combine the pineapple wedges, cantaloupe, strawberries, honeydew melon, watermelon, bananas, grapes, mandarin oranges, and kiwifruit. Drizzle the cooled pudding mixture over the fruit; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. To serve, spoon fruit mixture into pineapple shells.
Notes: This makes a very colorful, pretty way to serve a fruit salad. You could add any other fruits you like and arrange on the tray if they don't fit in the pineapple shells.
Number of Servings: 10-12
