This is another TOH from 99 and has become our family favorite. This salad will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator. The original recipe calls for all green apples but I prefer the combination of both red and green. Same with the grapes - add a few red if you like. My kids don't care for nuts so I usually leave them out. This is a great fruit salad for entertaining since it makes a lot. The cooking time is chilling time after it has been prepared Ingredients:
1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1/4 cup sugar |

3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice.
2. Set the pineapple aside.
3. Place juice in a saucepan; add butter, sugar and lemon juice.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
