Fruit Salad III

Ingredients

 * 1 pound dried Raisins
 * 1 pound papaya
 * 1 pound pineapple
 * mango
 * nuts as desired (walnuts, roasted almonds)
 * fresh and frozen fruits

Directions
Add the above ingredients in a bowl. Finish it off by adding fresh and frozen fruits. Berries give it a lovely color, hard Apples a nice crunch (don't use anything mealy), kiwi and/or Green Grapes for color, star fruit for eye appeal, etc. Even when there isn't much fresh fruit available—or time to cut it up—frozen Berries are nice. It is best if it blends about an hour before serving but I would rather add the fresh/frozen fruit at the last minute (even if it is cut up ahead) than have it lose it's shape and eye-appeal by being mixed in too long. I usually garnish it with the prettiest of the fresh fruit.
