Creamy Fruit Salad

I made this recipe for a family dinner today, and I had requests for the recipe. I can't take all the credit—I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com. Here's the way the recipe appears on that site:

1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained
1 (15 ounce) can sliced peaches, drained
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
4 medium tart apples, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups cold fat-free milk
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
1 (1 ounce) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup fat-free sour cream

In a large bowl, combine the fruit; set aside. In another bowl, whisk milk, orange juice concentrate and pudding mix for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add sour cream; mix well. Fold into fruit. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

I made a few changes—I used 1% milk, normal sour cream, and a normal 3 ounce package of vanilla pudding mix. I also used less milk than it calls for—I added just enough to make the sauce a good sauce consistency without being too soupy. You can just kind-of tell. (Yes, you can thank Grandma Turner for that one.)
