In reply to Morning Star Kyriss. No, you don't. Just leave them out and it will not effect the results.

In reply to Debra Flores. Thank you, Debra! I'll definitely definitely try the Truwhip. Fresh fruit is delicious. This recipe is quick easy and can be made ahead of time.

You should try Truwhip, doesn’t have all the chemicals as Cool whip.I would also use fresh organic fruit instead of canned,but that’s just me.

In reply to Bruce Sooley. Hi Bruce, thank you for your comment. The tropical version comes in a 15.25 oz can. I'm heading to the post to clarify it for our community. I appreciate your question!

In reply to Kala. I use the tropical fruit in the can Kala. I would be more concerned with the amount of juice than the kind since both will work to thicken the pudding mix. The jar has more than the can and I haven't tried it. If you do, please let me know how it went. Thank you!

For the tropical fruit, can I use either the Dole can or jar? They’re in different juices, so I wasn’t sure if it would matter.

In reply to Billie McVey. Just pour the powder in. It will mix with the juice of the canned fruit and thicken the salad.

Do I make the jello as directed on the package or just pour the powder in?
