This is the canned fruit cocktail. If you don't like it, you could substitute this for 1/2 cup of raisins if you like. Or just omit it completely. :)

Done!!! Let them cool to room temperature and then dig in! Or pop it in the fridge and have it cold. I prefer it cold. :) I actually refrigerate it overnight.
