Sweet Pasta Fruit Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package acini di pepe pasta
  • 3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
  • 2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions
1
Gather all necessary components of the dish.
2
Mix together pineapple juice, sugar, eggs, flour, and a half teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Stir the ingredients over medium heat until they have thickened.
3
Once the mixture has cooled to room temperature, which should take about an hour, remove it from the heat source.
4
In a separate pot, bring a large quantity of water to a boil. Add oil and the remaining two teaspoons of salt to the pot.
5
Add pasta to the pot and cook until it reaches an al dente state, which typically takes between 5 to 7 minutes.
6
Drain the pasta under cold running water and set it aside.
7
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the cooled egg mixture, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, crushed pineapple, and whipped topping. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
8
Refrigerate the pasta mixture for an extended period of time, such as 8 hours or overnight.
9
Just before serving, add marshmallows and coconut to the mixture. Toss everything together and serve.
