Steps:

Whisk the flour & sugar together. Beat eggs until light, and whisk in flour & sugar.
Drain a can of pineapple tidbits into a 2-cup measure, add the lemon and orange juices, and pour in enough vinegar to make 1-1/4 cups total liquid.
Add to the egg mixture. Cook in double boiler, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Chill thorougly, then fold in whipped cream.
Fold into your mixed fruit--you really can use whatever fruit you have on hand. I've added mango, pears, starfruit, kiwi, and I can't remember what all!
Chill and enjoy!
