Rosa Marina Salad or Orzo Fruit Salad <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This recipe was one of the first given to me by my old friend, Olive Grant, when I was a newlywed. She taught me so many tricks of the kitchen trade I will always be grateful. She was a little old lady about 30 years older than me at the time….. She told me once, “I won’t be around forever to cook the suppers at church, so you need to learn how to do it for when I’m gone.” She was a master of all kitchen gadgets (some I’d never seen before!)  and she was a wonderful, wondrous cook. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Ingredients for Orzo Fruit Salad <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
The Rosa Marina macaroni is very hard to find. It looks like fat pieces of rice in pasta form. But Orzo pasta is a good substitute and easier to find in most markets. But I like Rosa Marina better. It plumps up to a nice oval shape and it feels fun in your mouth. So if you find it, buy up bags of them up!  Anyway, I used orzo for this recipe, so you can too. <\/span><\/span>

Custard mix for Rosa Marina Fruit Salad<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
You are basically making a sweet custard to mix with cool whip and the macaroni is a base for this sweet, fruit salad. It makes a huge bowl so I love bringing it to a family supper or a church pot luck. The Maraschino cherries make it so pretty and it will feed an army, like 12 to 14 as a side dish. <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>
