Notes
Recipe tip, add an extra can of mandarin oranges if you like.
Make ahead, prepare up to one day in advance for the best flavor and texture.
Texture guard, drain canned fruits well to prevent a watery consistency, and fold gently to keep the mixture fluffy.
Serving ideas, garnish with a few mandarin segments or a light sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
