How to Make Old Time Fruit Salad
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
- Whisk in the sugar until combined.
- Gradually whisk in the eggs, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
- Stir in the lemon juice.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool completely.
- While the dressing chills, in a large serving bowl, gently combine the mixed fruits, pecans, and marshmallows.
- Once the dressing is thoroughly chilled, pour it over the fruit mixture.
- Gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly.
- Serve chilled. Enjoy!
