Picnic Fruit Slice

I once thought I had lost this recipie and I was in a panic, as it is my stand-by for using up fruit that is past its best, and for any picnic we are going on.  Luckily it turned up filed incorrectly in my little box. 

I don't strictly apply the 1 cup of fruit rule, as I do use whatever I have, and particularly put apples or peaches on the top as a sort of topping.  Also, I often add coconut to the recipie, about 1/2 a cup.  It seems to be a very forgiving recipie in that regard.
