Old-Time Fruit Salad

I first tasted this recipe at a card party. I was told it is a very old recipe. I have served it often and have passed it along to many friends and family.

Recipe

• 3 beaten eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons 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-ounce can pineapple tidbits, drained
• 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. Pour dressing over mixture, and mix well.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: To retain the natural color of the apples, toss a little lemon juice in the bowl of apples and mix well before adding other ingredients. Serves 8.
