Creamy Three Fruit Salad

Posted on 11. Mar, 2009 by Mom Mag in Recipes

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp. salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks drained but reserve the juice
1 ripe banana, sliced
1 cup seedless red grapes cut in halves
1 cup miniature marshmallows
6 cups torn lettuce

Instructions:

Place the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and reserved pineapple juice. Sprinkle in the salt and stir well to combine all the ingredients together. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a steady boil being sure to stir continuously. Continue stirring and cooking until all the sugar has completely dissolved. Pour 1 Tbsp of the heated juice into the beaten eggs and whisk quickly together to keep the eggs from beginning to set. Pour the eggs mixture into the warm juice and continue to whisk until combined. On low temperature bring the mixture to a gentle steady boil, continue stirring and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature in a small bowl. Place the pineapple chunks, bananas and grapes in a salad bowl. Gently fold in the marshmallows. Pour the cooled dressing over the fruit and toss to cover the fruit and marshmallows well. Serve of the torn lettuce.
