"I like to bring my mom's fruit salad to potlucks. Its smooth suace combined with all the colorful fruit makes it different than any other fruit salad I've tried. I've given out the recipe more times than I can remember." -- Ann Heinonen, Howell, Michigan.

Drain pineapple, reserving 1 cup juice in a small saucepan. Set pineapple aside. To saucepan, add sugar, flour, eggs, orange juice, lemon juice and oil. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
