3 eggs
2 tablespoons flour

3/4 cup heavy cream (whipped)

  • 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.

  • Pour the salad into a serving bowl and cover. Chill for 24 hours.

OVERNIGHT FRUIT SALAD



Overnight Fruit Salad image

I first tasted this rich, old-fashioned fruit salad at my wedding reception many years ago. The ladies who did the cooking wouldn't share the recipe at the time, but I eventually got it. I've made it for many meals, and our daughters copied the recipe when they married. -Eileen Duffeck, Lena, Wisconsin

24 HOUR FRUIT SALAD



24 Hour Fruit Salad image

This is a wonderful salad that is easily adaptable, and can be served as a salad with a holiday meal or as a dessert. The original recipe called for canned fruit cocktail, but I have modified it from that. I'm also allergic to pineapple, so I either pick it out or substitute more of the other fruits instead. All the fruits are really to taste. I could eat myself sick on this stuff, it is so good.

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup whipping cream, whipped

1 cup green grape, halved
1 cup red grapes, halved
1/2 cup maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • The canned fruit needs to be completely dry, so recommend starting this 2 days in advance - draining the fruit overnight on the first day.

  • Mix the pudding mix and milk together until thick.

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 can(s) Dole pineapple chunks in 100% pineapple juice drain and reserve 4 tablespoons of syrup (20 oz)
6 slightly beaten egg yolks (remember to separate egg yolk from whites) beat yolks with a fork
4 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp butter or margarine (I always use Blue Bonnet margarine)
2 dash(es) salt
1 can(s) Delmonte 100% juice fruit cocktail, drained (15 oz)
1 can(s) Dole tropical mixed fruit in passion fruit, drained (15.25 oz)
4 c tiny marshmallows
2 c prepared Dream Whip topping (1 packet makes 2 cups see directions below)
INGREDIENTS FOR WHIPPED TOPPING
1 pkg Dream Whip
1/2 c cold milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Drain pineapple chunks in a colander over a small bowl and reserve 4 tablespoons of pineapple syrup.
  • 2. To make custard for fruit salad: In a small heavy saucepan, combine reserved pineapple syrup, egg yolks, sugar, vinegar, butter or margarine, and salt. *Note: as a rule, I used apple cider vinegar*
  • 3. Cook and stir over low heat, whisking or stirring constantly, for about 6 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and coats a metal spoon. It may take a little longer than 6 minutes, but when it coats the spoon it is ready. (Yes you will smell the vinegar, but don't worry, the custard will taste delicious). Cool to room temperature.
  • 4. In a 3 quart bowl, combine pineapple chunks, fruit cocktail, mixed fruit, and marshmallows.
  • 5. Pour custard over; mix fruit mixture gently. (I generally make this up in a glass rectangular baking pan.)
  • 6. In a large bowl, to make the whipped cream do the following: Mix 1 envelope of Dream Whip, 1/2 cup cold milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat on low speed until blended. Then beat on high speed for 4 minutes until topping thickens and form peaks.
  • 7. Fold whipped cream into fruit mixture. Cover with some Saran Wrap and refrigerate 24 hours or overnight. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
