Apricot Cheese Delight Salad


1 - 17 oz can apricots, drained and chopped (reserve juice)
1 - large can crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)
2 - 3 oz pkg orange jello
2 cups hot water
1 cup apricot juice
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
3 T flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 T butter
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup whipped cream
Dissolve jello in hot water; add apricot juice. Fold in apricots, pineapple and marshmallows into jello. Chill until firm in a 9 x 13 inch pan or dish. Topping: Combine sugar and flour. Add egg, butter and pineapple juice. Cook over low heat. Stir until thickened. Cool thoroughly. Fold in whipped cream and spread over salad. Cut into 4 inch squares and serve on lettuce leaf.
I used Cool Whip in place of whipped cream.
It was very good and I would make it again.
