Frog Eye Salad

Frog eye what?? Yes, I said Frog Eye Salad. It's one of the best desserts ever! Great "kid" food. Yummy summertime treat. Actually, it's yummy anytime! I think I'll go have some...



Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks, undrained
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/3 cups (8 oz.) CREAMETTE ACINE DI PEPE, uncooked
2 cans (11-oz. each) mandarin orange segments, drained
3-1/2 cups (8 oz.) frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup flaked coconut -optional
Maraschino cherries -optional

Directions:
In medium saucepan, stir together sugar, flour and salt. Drain pineapple, reserving juice to equal 1 cup. With whisk, gradually stir juice and egg into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in lemon juice. Cool mixture to room temperature. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool quickly; drain well. In large bowl, stir together pineapple juice mixture and pasta. Cover; refrigerate several hours or overnight. Add crushed pineapple and chunks, oranges, 2 cups whipped topping, marshmallows and coconut; mix gently and thoroughly. Cover; refrigerate until cold. Top with remaining whipped topping; garnish with cherries. Makes 12 servings (about 1 cup each).

Enjoy!
