Very good recipe- I made a few changes to this. I made the salad the night before, I mixed the juice, milk, sugar, pudding and crushed pineapple together. I stirred in the cooked pasta, and let that sit together in the fridge over night. In a different bowl I opened the fruit drained, and added about 2 cups maraschino cherries, let that sit together overnight. The next morning I re-drained the fruit and mixed together with pasta and added the whipped topping and marshmallows. I left out the coconut. VERY GOOD!!

Sweet Hot Mustard

This is a great recipe for those that like HOT foods. Try using honey in place of the sugar. It makes a smoother texture and a slightly different taste, a taste that we decided we liked better after trying it both ways. We serve it with pepperoni, crackers and a white cheese.
