Hi Lyndy;
I found this recipe in the April/May94 issue of Taste of Home. It sounds really close to what you described. Hope this is it.
FLUFFY FRUIT SALAD
2 cans (20 ozs. each) crushed pineapple
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/4 cup orange juice
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 cans (17 ozs. each) fruit cocktail, drained
2 cans (11 ozs. each) mandarin oranges, drained
2 bananas, sliced
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Drain pineapple, reserving 1 cup juice in a small saucepan. set pineapple aside.
To juice in saucepan, add sugar, flour, eggs, orange juice, lemon juice and oil. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute; remove from the heat and let cool.
In a salad bowl, combine the pineapple, fruit cocktail, oranges and bananas. Fold in whipped cream and cooled sauce. Chill for several hours. Yield: 12-16 servings.
Let me know if this is the right recipe or not, if it is not I will continue to search. I have all the Taste of home magazines from the premiere issue to present so I should be able to find it.
