My mother used to make a salad with pineapple, pecans, and marshmallows. It was held together with pineapple juice cooked with cornstarch. Any ideas?

DEVINE PINEAPPLE SALAD

1 can broken slices pineapple
1 pkg. large marshmallows

1 c. granulated sugar
10 pecan halves

Drain can of pineapple and cut into bite sized pieces
and place into large serving dish. With scissors cut marshmal-
lows into fourths and mix with the cut-up pineapple pieces.
(The juice around pineapple pieces help to separate the pieces
of marshmallows.) Add sugar and gently stir to mix well. Whip
the cream and place about 1/4 of cream from the top in another
container and pour the remainder into serving dish containing
pineapple and marshmallows. Stir well. Place the top whipped
cream over the dish, spreading to completely cover dish.
