Tried 'n' True: Throw this salad together day before carry-in

Can you believe December is here already? The year went by really fast. We’ve had some sickness and a lot more good health. Thank God.

We are always looking for something different. We have a salad this week, again from Rita Bumpus. You have all these Christmas dinners, also carry-in for your church party. Here is something you can throw together the day before for next day’s party.

Hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Pineapple Cheese Salad

1 can (large) crushed pineapple

1/2 cup small marshmallows

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon flour

6 ounces Cheddar cheese, cubed

• Drain pineapple.

• Put juice, beaten egg, sugar and flour in a sauce pan.

• Boil until thick.

• When thick pour over pineapple.

• Cool slightly

• Then stir in marshmallows and cheese.
