Acini de Pepe Pasta Salad (Frog Eye!)

I'm sure you have all learned how to make this from your wonderful mothers- but I just found out and I'm pretty excited about it! This is the dish i'm taking to Thanksgiving tomorrow!

1 cup acini de pepe pasta
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple
1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping
7 oz mini marshmallows
1 cup sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 tsp. salt
3 TB flour
1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries (optional)


1. Cook pasta according to package directions (usually 8-10 minutes in boiling water). Don't forget to add a little salt!

2. Combine pineapple and orange juice from the cans, flour, sugar, salt, & eggs in a pot. Stir constantly while cooking on medium heat until mixture thickens. Refrigerate this mixture overnight.

3. The next day add pineapple, oranges, whipped topping and marshmallows (cherries if you like). Serve Cold!


MMMMMMMMMMMMMM YUMMY!
