the original recipe has detailed directions on what fruit to buy but I'll make it easy for ya You will want to look at the big cans they useually say how many they will serve you can safely add to that number as you will be adding extra things to it.

for 125 or so servings buy
3 resturant size fruit cocktail
1 resturant size tropical fruit cocktail
2-3 (16 oz?) cans manderine oranges (drained)
1-2 cans pinnapple chunks (opp)
4-5 boxes instant pudding (lemon or coconut and 2 vinilla work well)
You can add fresh fruit as well but that is work
Mix all together. mix all well leave to set overnight (or longer) If mix seems toooooo watery use the extra box of pudding
juices and pudding mix for nice flavor this is a big hit put out clear plastic cups to serve in.
