I came up with the recipe for this fun fruit salad several years ago, shares Jessie Craven of Odessa, Missouri. It's a refreshing change of pace for me and my husband, who's diabetic. Ingredients:
1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks |
1/4 cup reduced-fat margarine |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
2 tablespoons water |
artificial sweetener equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar |
3 cups chopped apples |
2 cups green grapes |
2 teaspoon poppy seeds |
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple juice into a saucepan. Add margarine and lemon juice; cook over medium heat until margarine is melted. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into juice mixture. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; add sweetener. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. In a large bowl, combine pineapple, apples, grapes and poppy seeds. Add the dressing; toss to coat Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, gently toss in pecans. Yield: 16 servings.
