contributed by gayla

1 sm. can Mandarin oranges, drained (reserve juice)
1/2 can pineapple rings, drained, cubed (reserve juice)
1 sm. gala apple, cubed
1/3 c. raisins
1/2 c. hot water
1 tbsp. lemon juice
vanilla flavored yogurt (you could substitute any flavor)
Place raisins and hot water in a small bowl, cover for 10-15 min., drain. Place cubed apple pieces in another small bowl and toss with lemon juice, drain and add reserved lemon juice to orange juice and pineapple juice reserves.
In a large bowl combine grated carrots, Mandarin oranges, pineapple cubes, apple cubes, and raisins. Stir in desired amount of yogurt - amount depends on how moist you like your salad. Chill two hours before serving.
What did I do with that reserved juice? I made fruit syrup, of course.
