Old-Time Fruit Salad Recipe

submitted by reader Dora Lechman of Derry, PA

Ingredients
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
Instructions
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.
