Method
Cook shell macaroni according to package directions, to your desired doneness. If toasting pecans, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in single layer in shallow baking pan; bake a few minutes till golden brown. (Watch carefully.) Quarter apples, core, then cube. Do not peel. Toss apple in large bowl with the lemon juice. Add nuts, celery, cherries, grapes, sugar, salt and pepper; add pasta. Toss. Add enough of the mayonnaise to moisten.
Notes: Great for a make-ahead dish. Can refrigerate 2 to 24 hours without the apples discoloring.
Number of Servings: 8 to 10
