FAMILY FAVORITE 24 HOUR FRUIT SALAD
This old-fashioned fruit salad can be made any time of year. Cool, creamy, and fluffy, you'd never guess it's made with canned fruit. The combination of fruit gives it a tropical feel. Sweet and creamy, the homemade custard is the perfect base for this fruit salad. Marshmallows soak all the goodness from the custard sauce....

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.
24 HOUR FRUIT SALAD
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.

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.
- On the day before you need the salad, whip the cream. You can sweeten it with a bit of sugar if desired, but it's not needed.
- Mix the pudding mix and milk together until thick.
- Fold the whipped cream and pudding together.
- Fold the fruits and marshmallows into the cream and pudding mixture.
- Refrigerate overnight.
24-HOUR SALAD WITH FRUIT AND CUSTARD RECIPE
Steps:

- Combine the eggs, flour, sugar, and the juice mixture in a heavy saucepan and beat very well with a wire whisk . You want to beat enough that the mixture is foamy.
- 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.

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

TWENTY FOUR HOUR FRUIT SALAD
This recipe was handed down from my Mother who has been making it as long as I can remember. I usually serve it with ham, but it's versatile enough for any meat, or sweet enough to be served as a dessert. Cooking time is the chilling time in this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh fruits: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your fruit salad. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Cut fruits into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much fruit to the pot, it will not cook evenly. Cook the fruit in batches if necessary.
- Use a gentle touch: When stirring the fruit, be careful not to break it up too much. You want to keep the fruit intact so that it retains its shape and texture.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you find that the fruit salad is too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste. You can also add a splash of orange juice or lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.
- Chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. You can also top the fruit salad with whipped cream, yogurt, or granola before serving.
Conclusion:
Twenty-four-hour fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy this delicious fruit salad all year long.
