Best Karens Version Of Frog Eye Salad Recipes
KAREN'S VERSION OF FROG EYE SALAD
I grew up on this stuff. We had it for every holiday or family event. Most frog eye salads call for mini marshmallows. I don't like them because they get soggy and sticky. It is funny how many people have never heard of this salad, but once they have it, they are hooked. Since I can not find acini di pepe pasta here in California, I am forced to beg friends or family members to send it to me from out of state.

Steps:
- Cook pasta, according to directions on package, until tender; drain, rinse under cold running water, then drain thoroughly and add to a large serving bowl.
- Drain pineapple, reserving 1 3/4 cup juice for use later. Cover & refrigerate pineapple and then pour the reserved juice into a medium sauce pan, adding sugar, eggs, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is thick. Then remove it from the heat and stir into pasta, mixing well. Cover & refrigerate overnight.
- The next day add the drained pineapple, whipped topping, oranges, cherries, and blueberries, and marshmallows; blending lightly but, thoroughly. Cover & chill for 6 to 8 hours.
- *Make it low cal by replacing all but 1/4 cup of the sugar, eggs, and salt with a 5 oz. box of fat free instant vanilla pudding. Then follow the pudding directions using 1 1/4 of cold milk and the reserved pineapple juice instead of the 3 cups milk that the box will call for. You can skip step 2 of these directions (which is where you make your own pudding) and just stir the prepared non-fat pudding into the pasta, mixing it well and then cover & refrigerate it overnight.
