This is my daughters favorite salad and wants me to make it for every pot luck gathering. It`s like frog eye salad meets ambrosia salad. I got the recipe from my Aunt Marlene and not sure where she got it from but it`s so yummy everyone will love it!
The picture is not exactly how it looks like but could not find one.

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups pineapple juice
2 Tbsp flour
3 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, don`t burn! Set aside to cool.
1 1/2 cups acini pasta
5 cups water
tiny bit of oil to prevent sticking
a little salt
Cook the acini 7 mins, then rinse in cold water. Add acini to sauce. Set in the fridge 8-10 hours. I usually do this the night before and leave it overnight in the fridge.
1 large can crushed pineapple drained (you can do this the night before and use juice in first step)
1 can orange sections, drained
1/2 jar maraschino cherries (optional)
1 cup coconut
1 can fruit cocktail, drained
Strawberries, sliced
Purple grapes, sliced in half
1 small Cool Whip
Mini marshmallows (optional)
Add all ingredients including acini sauce in a large bowl and blend well adding the fresh fruit last so it wont break them apart too much.
This makes a pretty good sized bowl full which you`ll need because everyone will love it!
