Directions:
Cook macaroni according to package directions. While cooking, drain the 2 cans of pineapple, reserving the liquid. Mix the pineapple juice,sugar, flour and eggs. Cook the mixture until thicken. When macaroni is done, drain and let cool. Also cool the sauce. When both are cool, mix together and refrigerate over-night.
Next day, drain oranges. Mix the pineapple, oranges, marshmallows and Cool Whip and add to the macaroni and sauce mixture.
For garnish, use maraschino cherries and green grapes.
For a more fruity salad, use another can of drained chunk pineapple, more maraschino cherries and lots of green grapes.
This makes a lot of salad, so use a very large container. It is a wonderful dish to make for picnics and summer supper crowds.
