YUMMY FRUIT 'N' PASTA SALAD



Yummy Fruit 'n' Pasta Salad image

This is my take on the recipe that is usually printed on the box of Acini de Pepi. It has become one of our favorites. I even will eat the left-overs for breakfast. You can substitute the mandarin orange juice instead of the pineapple juice. Prep time includes letting it set overnight in the fridge.

PASTA FRUIT SALAD



Pasta Fruit Salad image

This is a delicious and fruity side dish! I got it from my cousin Bill, who says every time he brings it somewhere he gets bombarded with requests for the recipe. I can see why! The serving size is an estimate. It makes a lot! The cooking time includes the time to refrigerate overnight.

Provided by Kree6528

Categories     Fruit

Time P1DT20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges
2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits (can also use chunks)
1 (6 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon flour
2 beaten eggs
1 lb acini di pepe pasta
1 (10 ounce) container Cool Whip (can use Lite or Fat Free)

Steps:

  • Drain the fruit, saving the juices.
  • Combine fruit juices with sugar, salt, flour, and eggs.
  • Cook until the mixture boils, stirring often so you don't scramble the eggs; remove from heat.
  • As this cooks, cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Pour the still warm cooked fruit juice over hot pasta and stir.
  • Let come to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the Cool Whip to the refrigerator to soften for the next day.
  • The next day, combine the Cool Whip and all the fruit.
  • Keeps for a week.
  • TIPS: You may want to add about 1/2 the container of Cool Whip to the fruit to start with, then add more if it's too dry.
  • You may also want to drain the fruit again right before you add it, this time NOT adding the juices to the mixture.
  • Enjoy!
