Illustrated interpretation from the family cookbook.
Let’s make it
Drain canned fruit, reserving 1 cup juice; add water if needed to reach 1 cup.
Whisk juice and pudding mix in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
Cool, then refrigerate about 1 hour. If very thick, loosen with reserved juice or water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Cut apples and pears into bite-size pieces. Fold all fruit into the cooled pudding. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
