24-HOUR SALAD WITH FRUIT AND CUSTARD RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Drain the juices from the canned fruits and set the fruit aside. Pour the juices into a glass measuring cup. Add enough water to the combined juices, if necessary, to measure 1 1/2 cups.
• Combine the eggs, flour, sugar, and the juice mixture in a heavy saucepan and beat very well with a wire whisk . You want to beat enough that the mixture is foamy.
• Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring it constantly with a wire whisk, until thick and boiling. You want to make sure that the mixture is thick enough so the salad will be thick.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the lemon juice with a wire whisk, cover, and chill the custard in the refrigerator until cold, about 4 to 5 hours.
• When the custard is cold, fold in the well-drained fruits, marshmallows, and the sliced bananas.
