Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

1. Fruit cocktail custard tart. little tart shells, filled with fruit cocktail and custard, topped with freshly whipped cream.
or for the health consious option:
2. Fruit Cocktail ricotta Cannoli. buy fresh cannoli shells, mix fresh ricotta with the fruit cocktail, fill the shells, sprinkle with some icing sugar and serve. i love cannoli shells with both ends dipped in chocolate – tapos it gets hard.
fruit and chocolate! how can you go wrong?

1. drain fruit cocktail in a strainer. then add sour cream, condensed milk, cream cheese and if you want some more extra fresh fruit like mangoes, strawberries etc.
2. in a serving dish, layer lady fingers (broas) then pour a scoop of the fruit mixture then repeat the steps alternating the lady fingers and mixture
3. leave in freezer for about an hour. voila, instant fruit salad cake!

GANNS’ EAT-SOME SWEET HUM
(Yes, I want a cute recipe name.)
Ingredients:
5 slices of CDO Cooked Ham
2 small cans of Del Monte Fruit Cocktail (Lychee Flavor, mmm)
1 teaspoon of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Bring the syrup of the two cans of Del Monte to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Put the ham in, and cook until almost all syrup is gone.
3. Empty the fruits into the saucepan. Place one teaspoon of sugar in one of the empty cans of fruit cocktail and half-fill it with water.
4. Empty the can into the saucepan and cook for five minutes or until syrup thickens slightly.
5. Plate the ham. Spoon the fruits onto the ham or on the side.
6. Drizzle the syrup onto the ham and fruits and serve immediately.
