Cherries in the Snow

Ingredients:

• 6 large oranges
• 1 can pineapple chunks (20oz.)
• 1 small jar maraschino cherries
• 1 1/2 cup angel flake coconut
• 1/2 lb. marshmallows
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

• 1 cup half and half
• 1 Tbsp. (rounded) flour
• 6 Tbsp. sugar
• dash salt

Directions:

Cut up and drain oranges and pineapple. Make dressing in a medium saucepan; combine flour, sugar, salt, and half and half. Cook over medium heat until it boils, but do not scorch. Add half of the marshmallows while the dressing is hot. Stir until frothy and set aside to cool.

Mix fruit with remaining marshmallows, coconut and pecans. Put fruit in a bowl and cover with dressing, but do not mix. Sprinkle with coconut to make snow effect and arrange cherries on top in desired design. Make 2 hours ahead of time. Refrigerate.
