Creamy Fruit Salad

1 package (3.4 ounces) Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 cup cold orange juice
2 nectarines, chopped
2 cups halved fresh strawberries
2 cups cantaloupe chunks (1 inch)
2 cups seedless watermelon chunks (1 inch)
1 cup blueberries
1cup seedless green grapes

Beat pudding mix and orange juice in a large bowl with a whisk 2 minutes.  Add fruit;  toss to coat.

TIM'S NOTES:  I don't like cantaloupe, and I wasn't buying a whole watermelon for this recipe.  Living alone, I don't need that much watermelon.  Besides, I don't think the melons would be very good in this recipe.  I substituted 2 cups of fresh pineapple for one of the melons, and then used a mixed two cups of the other fruits to substitute for the other 2 cups.  This was a nice colorful, tasty combination of fruits, but long story short, you could probably use any combination of fruits as long as you had about 10 cups fruit total.  And depending upon fruits, there is a lot of glaze in this recipe, so you might be able to add more.  I am just suggesting 10 cups as the starting point because that is what the original recipe calls for.
