Prep: 30 min. + chilling
Ingredients:
2 cans (8 ounces each) pineapple chunks
1 medium apple, diced
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup seedless grapes, halved
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten

Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. Set aside pineapple and 1/2 cup juice. Toss remaining juice with apple; drain. In a large bowl, combine chicken, grapes, pineapple and apple. Cover and refrigerate.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, sugar and salt until smooth; gradually add lemon juice and the reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat. Add a small amount to egg yolks; return all to pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; chill for
