Heavenly 24-Hour Salad

Heavenly 24-Hour Salad

Sometimes a recipe name really doesn’t do a recipe justice.  This would be one of those recipes.  My great grandmother would make this wonderful sweet creamy fruit salad every year for Christmas.  These features orange juice, sour cream, bananas, pineapples, bing cherries, marshmallows and so much more. 
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. butter
2 C. dairy sour cream
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. vinegar
Dash of salt
In small saucepan, mix eggs with sugar, orange juice and vinegar. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in butter and salt. Cool; then, fold in sour cream. Chill while preparing fruits.

1 C. diced orange
1 C. cantaloupe (optional)
