Nonnie's Ambrosia


Ingredients

2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup fruit juice
1 tablespoon margarine
2 cups of mini marshmellows
1/2 cup of cherries
can of pineapples
can of fruit cocktail
can of orange slices
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Directions

* Drain juice of all cans in a bowl together to mix juices
* Dump drained fruit & marshmellows in a bowl
* Cook egg, 1/4 cup fruit juice & lemon juice until it has a thick creamy gravy-like texture
* mix juice, fruit, whip cream in a bowl
* chill overnight and serve

Special Notes

* I dont always add in exactly what the recipe calls for on fruit. Sometimes I use
    peaches instead of oranges and sometimes I add in an extra can to make it a little
    more fruity. Also, Del Monte seems to be a good brand to use.
* I also add a few more marshmellows than the directions calls for
* The cooking the egg in the juice part is tricky. Make sure you add the
     lemon juice in slowly not all at once.
* Make sure you STIR CONSTANTLY and thoroughly.
* Make sure it is a darker color, not clumpy, but thick and creamy. Dont be afraid to 
    see how far you can take it and then start over from scratch if you burn it. This is the
    only tricky part of this recipe but all toll it should only take you about 5 minutes to
    make this part, give or take. I found that medium heat is best for this process. Slow
    and steady  wins the race!
