Old-Fashion Fruit Salad Preparation

Combine eggs, sugar, and butter in saucepan; stir in lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. It will thicken quickly. Refrigerate until cool. In a large serving bowl, place fruit, nuts, and marshmallows. Pour dressing over mixture, and mix well.

Note: To retain the natural color of the apples, toss a little lemon juice in the bowl of apples and mix well before adding the other ingredients.
