 DIRECTIONS  
 (Fruit & Pasta Salad)
 Combine sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually stir in pineapple juice and 
 eggs. Cook over moderate heat, stirring until thickened. Add lemon juice. Cool 
 mixture to room temperature. Bring water, 2 teaspoons salt, and oil to boil. Ad
 d Acini de Pepe. Cook at a rolling boil until Acini de Pepe is done. Drain and 
 rinse with water, drain again and cool to room temperature. Combine egg mixture
  and Acini de Pepe, mix lightly but throughly. Refrigerate over night, in an ai
 r tight container. Add remainiong ingredients, mix lightly, but throughly. (I u
 se a huge Tupperware bowl with a lid) Chill. Salad may be refrigerated as long 
 as a week in air tight container. 
 Variation- Add red (or green) food coloring to pasta as it cooks. May add a pac
 kage of colored marshmallows. 
  I add the marshmallows and this makes a good pot luck recipe as it makes a big
  portion.
