Kathy a/k/a sister,

My memory tells me it wasn’t just one year that we found apples, oranges and walnuts in our stockings (which weren’t stockings at all but rather some of daddy’s socks). I seem to remember that being the norm. 🙂

Love,
Jackie a/k/a big sister

Remember the year we only got apples, oranges and a few walnuts in our Christmas stocking? Momma must have bought too much for the fruit salad.

Vicki,

How sweet of you to share that special story with us! Your writing is beautiful! I was right there with you experiencing it as you did. Thank you!

This recipe reminds me of the fruit salad that my dear sweet friend, Fern, always made. Like everything she served, it was delicious. She made everything from scratch, grew her own berries and vegetables. She could put together a huge spread for a crowd of people in record time. Served her delicious meals from beautiful old dishes and crocks and cut glass bowls. Usually her table was covered with a bright and cheery oilcloth with glasses of iced tea or lemonade and piping hot coffee that just added to the warm cozy feeling her meals gave you. Need I mention that this was all prepared in a wonderful rustic cabin in Brown County Indiana. I think this atmosphere and her company was simply the icing on the cake! Gee how I miss her!

Keep writing, your posts keep memories alive!

Vicki Chilldress
Thanks again for your recipe!

Pinoy,

I think fruit is good all by itself but there is just something special about cutting it up and mixing it together! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Sandra,

I’m so happy Miss Priss loved this salad! Did you teach her how to make it?

Long live Southern food! 🙂

We Southern sisters are usually cut from the same cloth! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

This is so my mother! I am a Maryland girl but my mother grew up in Alabama, I do not recall ever having a holiday meal that fruit was not part of it and it still is to this day! I smile every time I read your posts because you “southern girls” really are all alike! LOL

Miss Priss Jamie had two bowls of it yesterday and her friends want some of it today!! I never think to make fruit salad and to have you post one sent me to the grocery store right away to buy the stuff to make it, cuz I know it’s good if it comes from you!

Long live Southern Food.

Michelle,

Thanks for that clarification! That is a tasty part of the chicken, no doubt. And pulling the wishbone was the best part of the whole deal! I roast whole chickens and don’t cut them up, either. But….I’m going to cut one just so I can get figure out how to cut the pulley bone part separate from the breast. I need to teach my grandchildren about the pulley bone. 🙂

And I to clarify to younger readers, we weren’t fighting over the pulley “bone (aka wishbone), we were fighting over that scrumptious piece of chicken breast attached to it. I think this is the real tenderloin of the chicken. Yum. My hubby knows how to cut up a chicken with the pulley bone but we seldom ever cut a whole chicken for frying anymore. Now it has me craving it, maybe we will sometime soon.

Sandra,

I’m sure Miss Priss is going to love her delicious fruit salad her sweet Mama lovingly made for her!

I felt the need to shout from the rooftop that authentic Southern food is natural, local and whole. Folks don’t understand that the “trend” toward natural,local and whole is centuries old! 🙂

Sandra, I wish the best for your and your delightful family. I’m so thankful for you! You are one of my biggest blessings. 😉

Robin,

I think we all take shortcuts from time to time. I certainly do. All the negative press that Southern food has been getting lately has been weighing heavy on my heart. I felt strongly that I wanted to weigh in on my thought regarding authentic Southern food and the modern day versions that some people view as authentic. Long live Southern food! 🙂
