Old Fashioned Fruit Salad
3 beaten eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 TBSP butter, softened
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, chopped
3 Red Delicious apples, peeled, cored, chopped
1 bunch seedless green grapes
1 bunch seedless red grapes
1 (20 oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained (can substitute mandarin oranges if desired)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 1/2 cups mini-marshmallows
Combine eggs, sugar, and butter in saucepan; stir in lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. It will thicken quickly. Refrigerate until cool.
In a large serving bowl, place fruit, nuts, and marshmallows. Poor dressing over mixture, and mix well. Refrigerate.
TIP: to retain the natural color of the apples, toss a little lemon juice in the bowl with apples and mix well before adding the rest of the ingredients and the dressing.
