Frog-eye Salad
This was one of the first "Utah" foods that I ever experienced and I fell in love! I'm talking serious love! It's always been a favorite. It's not something that you make for dinner because it makes sooooooo much but it's perfect for a large gathering! This makes the huge Tupperware Fix-N-Mix bowl full!! It sounds like work but is quite quick to prepare ahead (it tastes better the next day) and is always the hit at every family reunion! There's a new way to do this.
Boil 3 quarts water and 1 Tbsp oil. Add 1 box of Acine de Pepe (usually on the top shelf above the pastas.) Drain 2 cans (1crushed and 1 tidbits) pineapple, saving the juice.
In saucepan, add:
1 3/4 cup pineapple juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs (I whip them up a bit first)
Boil and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Add 2 Tbsp. lemon juice.
1 3/4 cup pineapple juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs (I whip them up a bit first)
Boil and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Add 2 Tbsp. lemon juice.
Pour over cooked and drained pasta. Fold gently. Refrigerate overnight. The next day, add:
2 cans drained mandarin oranges
the pineapple
1 large container of Cool Whip
2 cups marshmallows
maraschino cherries for color!

(Some people also add a cup of coconut flakes.) Fold it all together, keep chilled until serving. Dang! Now, I want some! Enjoy!
