Ingredients:

6 oranges
1 lb seedles grapes
3 to 4 can of fruit cocktail in heavy syrup
1 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
Directions:
1. Peel apples and dice into small pieces
2. peel oranges and dice into small pieces
3. Place apples in a bowl and then iranges ( to prevent browning of apples )
4. Add the grapes, (cut each in half )
5. Add other fruit if desired: I added a basket of blueberries
6. Open fruit cocktail and pour over fruit
7. Toss to combine
8. Then in a large colander, drain the liquid from the fruit
9. Place fruit liquid , the sugar and egg yolks in a saucepan
10. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes
11. Cool and then mix gently into fruit
12. Place fruit in a gallon glass jar
13. Let chill 24 hrs before servinbg to blend flavors
14. Will keep in refrig up to a week
15. However if you decide to add say bananas, they will darken and get soft and the salad should be used sooner than sit in the refrigerator
