Recipe from a 2001 Catholic Scool Cookbook from Hardington Nebraska

Note: When I read this recipe it is unclear which fruit to add to the saucepan. The drained pineapple? To me it seems that 2 T cornstarch is too much for just 1/3 c. orange juice, and they don't say what to do with the Mandarin oranges, drain them? Is that where the orange juice comes from? I guess I'll have to try this recipe to find out.

Serve on a bed of watercress.
