2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
3/4 cup Whipping Cream
2 tablespoons Reserved Pineapple Juice
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 Eggs beaten
1 tablespoon Butter or Margarine
2 cans 20 oz each Pineapple Chunks in Juice, drained, 2 tablespoons juice reserved
1 cup Miniature Marshmallows
1 can 15 oz Pitted Dark Sweet Cherries in Syrup, drained
3 Seedless Oranges peeled, cut into small chunks

Whipped Cream Dressing
In a small saucepan, combine the beaten eggs, sugar, lemon juice, reserved pineapple juice, and butter or margarine.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This usually takes around 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled egg mixture into the whipped cream until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Salad Assembly
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cherries, drained pineapple chunks (reserving 2 tablespoons of the juice), and orange chunks.
Add the whipped cream dressing to the fruit mixture and gently stir until all the ingredients are well coated.
Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to set.

Use fresh, ripe fruits: Opt for high-quality cherries, pineapples, and oranges that are juicy and flavorful. This will enhance the overall taste of the salad.
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters: Before whipping the cream, place the bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for a few minutes. This will help the cream to whip up faster and hold its shape better.
Adjust sweetness to preference: If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can increase the amount of sugar in the whipped cream dressing. Taste the mixture before folding it into the salad and adjust accordingly.
Drain the fruits well: Make sure to drain the cherries and pineapple chunks well to avoid excess liquid in the salad. This will prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Experiment with variations: While this recipe follows the classic Betty Crocker 24 Hour Salad, feel free to add your own twist. You can incorporate other fruits like sliced bananas, diced peaches, or even canned mandarin oranges for a burst of citrusy flavor.
