Cherry Salad

This recipe comes from my mother and was at EVERY family gathering while growing up...still good!

Ingredients: 
1 Quart Cherries (if you can them) or 2 cans pitted tart red cherries in water
1 egg
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C cream (whipping or 1/2 and 1/2)
mini marshmallows
banana

Directions: 
Drain cherries, saving juice. Add ½ C sugar to cherry juice and heat. Drop in cherries and let stand 1 hour.

Mix egg, sugar and cream. Heat in heavy pan over medium heat until thick and boiling. Stir continuously. Cool (so marshmallows don’t melt).

Drain cherries, add marshmallows and dressing. Cover and chill. Add sliced banana when ready to serve.

(Sauce can be doubled..)

Serves: 6-8
