Acini di pepe is the Italian word for peppercorns. Any tiny round-shaped pasta works well in this chilled fruit salad. Great in the summer, but my family asks for it every holiday. Every time I bring this to a party, I get asked for the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup acini di pepe pasta
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
- 1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained with liquid reserved
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 7 ounces miniature marshmallows
- 1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Combine reserved liquids from pineapple and oranges (about 1 1/2 cups), sugar, beaten eggs, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Mix in cooked pasta. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
Step 3
Transfer chilled pasta mixture to a large serving bowl. Stir in pineapple, oranges, whipped topping, and marshmallows. Top with cherries. Keep salad chilled in the refrigerator until serving time.
