Step 1

Peel fruit and chop into small pieces. Cut oranges over apples so that the juice from the oranges will stop the apples from turning dark. Pour fruit cocktail over fruit. Drain juice from fruit into saucepan.

Step 2

Add 1 cup sugar and 6 egg yolks. Blend well.

Step 3

Cook approximately 15 minutes over medium heat stirring occasionally until slightly thickened. Cool. Pour over fruit.

Step 4

Stir, Cover, and refrigerate. Will keep in frig for a week. Make at least 24 hours ahead so that flavors can marry. Optional: Coconut and pecans. Bananas can be added but they turn dark quick and the fruit salad will not last as long in refrigerator.
