Gran'ma Wood's Fruit Salad

*Dressing:

¾ cup sugar

2 Tablespoons corn starch

1 cup boiling water

zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon

juice of 1 orange

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Boil the zest in the water for 5 minutes.  Mix sugar and corn starch thoroughly and add water.  Cook 10 minutes until thick.  Cool.  Add the juice of one orange and 1 Tablespoon lemon juice.  Just before serving add ½ cup of cream whipped stiff.

The fruit usually consisted of sliced bananas, canned pineapple, Royal Ann cherries, small marshmallows, or Mandarin orange slices.

*I sometimes use piña colada yogurt instead of a cooked dressing
