Taffy Apple Salad
My husband's cousin's wife (Did you get all that?), Candy, served us this colorful salad
while we were visiting in Ohio. Refreshing and light, it's perfect for a summer cookout.
Ingredients:
1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks
2 Cups tiny marshmallows
1/2 Cup sugar
1 TBS. flour
2 TBS. vinegar
1 egg, beaten
6-7 Cups cored and cubed apples, 1/2 red and 1/2 green
1 container (8 oz.) Cool whip
1 jar (10 oz.) maraschino cherries, drained and halved
1 Cup pecans, chopped
Directions:
Drain pineapple, reserving juice.
In a large bowl, stir together pineapple chunks and marshmallows.
Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
Meanwhile, for dressing, in a small saucepan, stir together sugar and flour.
Add reserved pineapple juice, vinegar and egg.
Cook and stir over medium heat just until bubbly.
Reduce heat. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.
Transfer to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
To serve, add chilled apples, dessert topping, cherries and nuts to marshmallow mixture. Stir to mix well.
