Oh, what a shame! Perhaps you could post what you remember about it and see if the combined wisdom of the forum can recreate it? I found this one which looks promising: Perfect Red Fruit Salad Recipe - Nourished Kitchenladyholly said:Strawberries are horrid when frozen except in my mums red fruit salad. She would never tell me what she did so it is gone forever.
The orange sm used to have qiye a nice frozen mix of fruit but they have changed it and now sell it as the very cheap brand which is full of strawberries. Yuk.
I share recipes left, right and centre: my take on it is that when people make the food, they will remember me and might even say 'Oh, I got this from my friend Cherry, we had it at theirs' (in my dreams!).

Whoah we’re going to Ibiza 🎵 😎 🏖️
All booked. DD can get the time off. Only 3 nights but really looking forward to it. Paid a little extra for breakfast and sea view so we can watch the amazing sunset.DD has had the date for her gall bladder op and it’s on Friday.Went to the big Mr T this morning then came home and spent the rest of the day gardening. I did get some time in my hanging chair though. Was very MSE and instead of buying plants for the 3 pots on my fence I poached 3 plants from very full planters.Tomorrow is earmarked for a big clean up in the house though.Tonight’s dinner is pizza and Prosecco.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -

Great mse work with the plants, glad you got some hanging chair time too. Enjoy pizza and prosecco 🥂
