My mom makes this usually at Easter time. I love it. From her Gooseberry Patch Hometown Favorites Cookbook. Best if started the night before you want to serve.

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, drained (reserve 1 3/4 cup juice)

1 lb acini-de-pepe pasta, cooked
1 (20 ounce) can chunk pineapple, drained
3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup marshmallow
1 (16 ounce) carton cool whip

1. Add the sugar, flour, salt, eggs, and 1 3/4 cup reserved pineapple juice to a saucepan; cook over medium heat and stir constantly until thickened.
2. Add in lemon juice; stir to combine.
3. Take pan off of burner and allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
