Ingredients

1 cup Acini di Pepe pasta

1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, liquid removed and set aside

1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, liquid removed and set aside

1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, defrosted

7 oz marshmallows, miniature sized

1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries, liquid removed (optional)

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 tsp salt

Directions

Boil a large pot of lightly salted water, then add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until ‘al dente‘; drain.

In medium saucepan, mix together the reserved liquids from oranges and pineapple (totals about 1 1/2 cups), flour, sugar, eggs, and salt. Cook until thickened, stirring continuously. After the mixture has thickened, mix in the cooked pasta and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, add the oranges, pineapple, whipped topping and marshmallows (to reach the desired amount). Combine then garnish with cherries, if desired. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

This sounds like a recipe I got off the box several years ago. It was called "Frog-eye Salad". I made it and took it to a church pot-luck. Hugh success! with young and old alike.
