Salads for Sunday - Fruit Salad and Orange Salad

A lot of family for Sunday dinner - great chance to try some new recipes. Here are two salads they're getting tomorrow.

ORANGE SALAD
2 pkgs. Orange jello
2 cups boiling water
1 can frozen orange juice
1 can mandarin oranges
1 small can crushed pineapple & juice
1 cup cold water
Mix jello & boiling water, then add 1 can orange juice & stir well. Add mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple & water. Set in fridge till firm.
1/2 cup sugar
2 heaping tbsp. flour
1 can #2 pineapple juice
5 tbsp. butter
1 cup whipped cream
1 beaten egg
Chopped nuts
In the meantime cook sugar, flour, pineapple juice, egg & butter until thick. Cool, add whipped cream. Pour over jello mixture & sprinkle with nuts.
[I didn't use the nuts because I wanted this salad to get eaten!]

FRUIT SALAD
1 pkg. of lemon jello
Heat 1 cup pineapple juice and dissolve jello
1½ cups pineapple chunks
1 cup orange sections
24 maraschino cherries (I don't like this many)
16 Marshmallows cut fine.
When thickened whip 1 cup cream and fold in.
(Very Good)

For this salad, I used pineapple tidbits from the large can. It gave me exactly 1 cup of juice and 1 1/2 cups of pineapple. A regular size can of mandarin oranges is just about a cup. I used 12 maraschino cherries and cut them in half. And this recipe was obviously created before the days of miniature marshmallows. Believe it or not girls, I remember those days! So I estimated that about 8 minis makes a large - or about 2 cups.
