DEL MONTE VERY CHERRY MIXED FRUIT REVIEW

Me and my family we like canned fruit cocktails, and one of our favorite brands to buy is Del Monte. We got to review the Del Monte Very Cherry Mixed Fruit. It contains grapes, pieces of peach, pear, and red cherry. The fruit pieces are in light syrup, also cherry flavored. The can is easy to open, one of those with a ring attached to the top - you just pull the ring up, pop the lid open, and remove it, no need for can opener.

This fruit cocktail is delicious as it is. However, there are several other ways to serve it. You can make a quick dessert by serving this mixed fruit with delicious recipes. Here are two delicious recipes that are easy and great to try with your family.
