Today's Mixed Fruit in Light Syrup 836g

Today's Mixed Fruit in Light Syrup: The Philippines' Favourite Canned Fruit, Now Available in the UK

Today's Mixed Fruit has been the number one canned fruit brand in the Philippines for decades, and it's not hard to see why. This 836g can contains a generous mix of tropical fruits, including pineapple, red papaya, yellow papaya, nata de coco, and artificially coloured cherry pieces, all preserved in a clarified pineapple juice and sugar syrup that keeps everything tasting fresh and sweet. The combination of textures is what sets it apart: soft papaya, juicy pineapple, and the distinctive chewy bite of nata de coco make every spoonful interesting.

The 836g can is a large family-size format, designed for gatherings and celebrations. It's the format you'd reach for when making a big bowl of halo-halo, a fruit salad for a party, or a dessert that needs to feed a crowd without much fuss. The fruit is ready to use straight from the can, with no cooking or prep required beyond opening and draining if needed.

What makes Today's stand out from generic canned fruit is the inclusion of nata de coco alongside the more familiar pineapple, papaya, and cherry. These aren't ingredients you'll find in a standard supermarket fruit cocktail, and they're what give Filipino desserts their distinctive character. If you've been trying to recreate the flavours of Filipino home cooking or restaurant desserts here in the UK, this is the can you need. Browse our full range of authentic Asian groceries to find everything else you might need alongside it.

Ingredients: Fruits in varying proportion (pineapple, red papaya, yellow papaya), clarified pineapple juice and/or water and sugar, nata de coco, artificially coloured cherry pieces (colour E129), E330 (acidity regulator), E955 (sweetener). Contains sugar and sweetener. E129 may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.

How to Use Today's Mixed Fruit: Filipino Dessert Recipes and Serving Ideas

The most iconic use for Today's Mixed Fruit is halo-halo, the beloved Filipino shaved ice dessert. To make it, layer the drained mixed fruit in a tall glass with sweetened red beans, leche flan, ube halaya, and shaved ice. Top with evaporated milk and a scoop of ube or vanilla ice cream. The mixed fruit provides the sweet, syrupy base that ties everything together.

Beyond halo-halo, there are plenty of other ways to use this can:

• Filipino Fruit Salad: Mix the drained fruit with cream cheese, condensed milk, and all-purpose cream for a rich, chilled dessert that's a staple at Filipino celebrations. Refrigerate overnight for the best results.
• Buko Pandan Salad: Combine with young coconut strips, pandan-flavoured jelly, and a cream dressing for a fragrant, refreshing dessert.
• Simple Fruit Cup: Serve straight from the can, chilled, as a light dessert or snack. The syrup is sweet enough to enjoy as is.
• Trifle Base: Use the mixed fruit as a layer in a trifle alongside sponge cake and cream. The tropical flavours work surprisingly well in this British classic.
• Topped on Pancakes or Waffles: Drain and spoon over pancakes for a quick, flavourful topping that's a step up from plain tinned peaches.

The syrup from the can is also worth keeping. It's lightly sweet and fruity, and works well as a base for cold drinks or as a drizzle over ice cream. If you enjoy making Filipino-style drinks and desserts, pair this with our Asian drinks range for ingredients like coconut water and flavoured syrups that complement the fruit perfectly.

For a complete halo-halo setup, you'll also want to check our sauces and condiments collection for ube jam, condensed milk, and other Filipino pantry essentials that go hand in hand with this can.
