Stacey's Fancy Schmanzy Fruit Salad

1 sm box cook vanilla pudding
1 sm box cook tapioca pudding
1 sm box jello-  The jello can be any flavor but should compliment the fruit you will be putting into the salad later.
3 cups water

Put the puddings, jello and water into a pan and bring to a boil. Stirring occasionally. Once it's boiling and thick take it off heat, let cool for a few minutes and put in a bowl to refrigerate at least 4 hours.  Overnight is better.

Fold in 12 oz whipped topping and at least a cup of fruit, more if you want it more fruity.
