Prepare acini de pepe according to package directions; drain.
In small, heavy saucepan, beat eggs with wire whisk until foamy.

Cook over low heat until mixture thickens and coats a metal spoon, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes.
Cool to room temperature.
In large bowl, combine acini de pepe, pineapple, oranges, grapes and marshmallows; mix well.
Fold in egg mixture, then whipped cream.
Cover; chill thoroughly. Stir gently before serving.
Garnish with cherries.
