Drain fruit and set aside juice. While cooking the macaroni, prepare the fruit sauce. Mix sugar, flour, salt, eggs, and fruit juices in a saucepan. Cook, stirring just until sauce comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Mix the sauce and cooked macaroni and allow it to cool in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight. Then fold in whipped topping, pineapple, mandarin oranges, cherries, apples, and nuts. Chill until ready to serve. Makes about 6 quarts.
