Notice: No frogs are harmed in the making of this Wescipe.

Ingredients

1 c. sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 3/4 c. fruit juice, drained from pineapple and fruit cocktail
2 T. cornstarch, mixed with a small amount of water to dissolve lumps
1 box acini de pepe pasta, cooked in salted water (also called rosa marina)
1 - 2 lb. can pineapple tidbits (drained well; reserve juice)
1 large can fruit cocktail (drained well; reserve juice)
1 large can mandarin oranges (drained well)
1 - 8 oz. container Cool Whip
1 jar maraschino cherries (sliced in halves or chopped coarsely)

 Directions 

Mix sugar, eggs and reserved fruit juice in pan over medium low heat. Heat slowly to avoid lumps of eggs. Once dressing is heated, add cornstarch/water mixture and stir frequently until thickened.  Remove from heat and add cooked pasta. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).  Before serving, fold in fruit, Cool Whip and cherries. (I usually add more fruit than the recipe calls for but do not increase the dressing so it does not get too runny.)
