For a tangier flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the sauce. If you don't have time to chill overnight, a minimum of 4 hours will still yield good results. Feel free to substitute other fruits you enjoy, such as grapes, strawberries, or blueberries. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of whipped topping. Garnish with extra maraschino cherries or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for a beautiful presentation.
