This is a recipe that my mom has been making for years so I don't know where it originally came from.

1 box Jell-O tapioca
1 (16 ounce) can fruit cocktail drained
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained or
    1 small can mandarin oranges, drained
1 pint heavy cream
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Cook tapioca pudding as directed on box and set aside to cool.

When pudding is cooled, stir in drained fruit and marshmallows.

Whip heavy cream. Fold cream gently into pudding/fruit mixture. Stir in coconut if desired. Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours.
