We have done only slight changes to the recipe like adding Pear and adding fruit flavoured coconut jelly along with the normal one.  Every time we served this fruit Salad, it was all appreciation and query on the recipe :)

Where to find the ingreadients:
You can get all the canned fruits from 99 Ranch store or Shun Fat Market around Irvine or most of the asian stores. Sour Cream is available from Ralphs or Albertsons or any general grocery stores at the dairy section. Condensed milk is available at Ralphs at the baking section or 99 Ranch store. I usually use the Nestle brand.

Remove the canned fruits from the sugar syrups and cut them neatly in square pieces.
Peel all the freash fruits and cut them also in square pieces. Cut the grapes in half.
Add sour cream to the fruits till the desired consistency is achieved.
Add condensed milk.
Crush the cashew nuts and add it to the mixture.
Enjoy delicous fruit salad :).

 Save the jackfruit syrup.  Add to the fruit salad, if its not sweet enough.
