Frog Eye Salad

This is a favorite of mine from childhood...and I still love it.

Half package of acini di pepi noodles

Cook and drain noodles, let them cool.

In a saucepan combine:

1Tbsp. flour
1/2 C. sugar
3/4 C. pineapple juice
1 beaten egg
1/2 tsp. lemon juice

Cook until thick

Cool well, and add noodles.

This needs to be refrigerated overnight.

In the morning add:

1 sm. can mandarin oranges...I actually like 2 cans, but just put in what you like
1 can pineapple tibits(you should have used all the juice from these in the sauce)
1 C. coconut, or as much as you like
1 can crushed pineapple...sometimes I just use half a can.

You can also put colored mini marshmallows on the top at the end. I don't like to mix them in because they get soggy...and I don't like them! But they do look pretty in the spring.
