Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
  • 3 medium apples, diced
  • 2 medium firm bananas, sliced
  • 1/3 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1/3 cup chopped cashews

Method

  • For dressing, in a small saucepan, combine the sugars, flour and water until blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir a small amount into the egg; return all to the pan. Cook and stir until mixture reaches 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat; gently stir in vinegar and butter. Cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, combine the apples, bananas, celery, grapes, pineapple and cashews. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with a slotted spoon.
