Recipe Summary Acini Di Pepe Salad

Acini di pepe is the Italian word for peppercorns. Any tiny round-shaped pasta works well in this chilled fruit salad. Great in the summer, but my family asks for it every holiday. Every time I bring this to a party I get requests for the recipe.

Ingredients | Sfinge Di Ricotta Recipe

1 cup acini di pepe pasta

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved

1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained with liquid reserved

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

7 ounces miniature marshmallows

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

½ teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained (Optional)

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain.

In medium saucepan, combine reserved liquids from pineapple and oranges (equals about 1 1/2 cups), sugar, eggs, salt and flour. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. When mixture becomes thick, add cooked pasta and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, add pineapple and oranges, whipped topping and marshmallows to taste. Mix together and top with cherries if desired. Keep chilled until served.
