Ingredients

- 2 cups tiny marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 tbsp butter or oleo
Instructions

Cook and stir over low heat about 6 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly and coats a metal spoon. Cool to room temperature. Combine drained pineapple, cherries, oranges and marshmallows. Pour custard over and mix gently. Fold in whipped cream. Put in serving dish, cover and chill 24 hours or overnight. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and extra sectioned oranges, if desired.

This looks so utterly scrumptious!!! I’ve already purchased our Thanksgiving things, and don’t have enough money to add this new dish, but it’s going to be on my Christmas dinner table!!!
Thanks for sharing, Melody!!!
