OVERNIGHT FRUIT SALAD
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

OVERNIGHT FRUIT SALAD
I don't remember where I originally got this recipe, but I've made it many times beginning mid-1960's. For months I've been searching for the recipe to post it. Then today it showed up in my e-mail from a daily recipe site. I've added to the ingredients and directions. The original recipe called for one can of cherries, so that's what I listed in the ingredients, but I prefer two cans of cherries. Look for Royal Ann or Royal Cherries. If you sub a different kind of cherries or other fruit I have no idea how it will turn out. The original recipe didn't call for bananas. I always use 2 or 3 bananas. Leave out them out if you don't like them. Same for the nuts. Be SURE to make this a minimum of 12 hours before serving - 24 hours is better. The first time I made it was for a family gathering. I tasted it right away - it was terrible. The next day it was great. What a difference a day makes! As you can tell from the ingredients, this is sweet.

Steps:
- Prepare cooked Dressing:.
- Heat first 6 ingredients just to boiling in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Let it cool while you beat the whipping cream.
- Beat whipping cream in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until it's stiff.
- Fold a spoonful of the cooled egg mixture into into the whipped cream.
- Fold the rest of the cooled egg mixture into the whipped cream.
- If you add the hot egg mixture all at once into the whipped cream, it will curdle; trust me on this.

- Garnish with Maraschino cherries.
- Garnish with nuts if you choose to use the nuts as a garnish rather than an ingredient, or both as I do.

Tips:

- Cut your fruit evenly: This will help ensure that all of the pieces of fruit cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the fruit will not cook evenly. Cook the fruit in batches if necessary.
- Use a gentle heat: Cook the fruit over low or medium heat so that it does not burn.
- Stir the fruit frequently: This will help prevent the fruit from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Add sugar to taste: If your fruit is tart, you may want to add some sugar to taste. However, be careful not to add too much sugar, as this can overwhelm the flavor of the fruit.
- Serve warm or cold: This recipe can be served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, let it cool slightly before serving. If you serve it cold, chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
