[recipe] Creamy Fruit Salad

[Guest guest]

Here is a fruit salad I just love to eat for dessert

on a hot summer day; it is great for breakfast too.

It makes a lot of servings, so it is just perfect for

picnic parties and backyard BBQing.

 

Creamy Fruit Salad

 

1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 Tbs. plus 1/4 cup lemon juice, divided

1 cup whipping cream, whipped [or 2 cups whipped topping]

6 medium red apples, diced

6 medium firm bananas, sliced

3 cups halved green or red seedless grapes

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup shredded coconut

 

In a heavy saucepan, combine orange juice,

pineapple juice, sugar, egg and one tablespoon

of lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat,

stirring all the while. Remove from heat.

When it is cool fold in the whipped cream.

In a large serving bowl, toss apples with

remaining lemon juice. Add bananas and

grapes. Add the dressing; stir to coat.

Refrigerate. Fold in pecans and coconut just

before serving.

Yield: 20 servings
