Taffy Apple Salad

Ingrediants:

1 - 15oz chuck pineapple, reserve juice
2 cups miniature marshmallows (The store only had regular sized so I cut them up into 4)
1 egg, beaten
1 tbs flour
1 1/2 cups peanuts
1 1/2 tbs white or apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups chopped apple (unpeeled)
1 - 8oz cool whip

Procedure:

Cut pineapples in half.
Mix drained pineapple and marshmallows in a large bowl, refrigerate & let set overnight.

Mix pineapple juice, sugar, flour, egg, and vinegar. Heat until boiling, cook until thickened. Cool. Store in refrigerator overnight.

Next day: Combine thickened juice mixture with cool whip. Add remaining ingredients (apples and peanuts), plus pineapple-marshmallow mixture. Let set in refrigerator for 6 to 8 hrs.

Notes: My great grandma (Gram) Loretta Serafino brought this to parties.

My Note: I started making this salad at noon for a party at 7pm because I didn't look to see if I needed to cool anything overnight. It worked out, but I know its way better if you follow the directions exactly. This one is awesome.
