Try orange segments, pineapple, coconut and a little sweetener. Some folks put cream (whipped, or sour or just heavy...lowest on the food chain would be the use of "cool whip" which may be what you personally want?) in these type things so you have plenty of room to experiment. Most ghastly (IMO) is the addition of marshmallows, but if your momma included them that's what you'll want to add those too. You don't really need a "recipe" as much as the courage to toss a few things together and try to recreate what your own momma made? |

"Ghastly"??? I like your passion - I also like marshmallows in
ambrosia. Stuffing from a store-mix on Thanksgiving is ghastly. J.S. - the ambrosia I loved as a kid had coconut, pineapple, tangerines, sour cream and cool whip. But I can never seem to replicate it. |

Add canned fruit cocktail too. There is no exact recipe for Ambrosia ambrosia [am-BROH-zhah] 1. According to Greek mythology, ambrosia (meaning "immortality") was the food of the gods on Mt. Olympus. More recently, the word designates a dessert of chilled fruit (usually oranges and bananas) mixed with coconut. Ambrosia is also sometimes served as a salad. 2. A mixed drink made by shaking COGNAC, BRANDY (usually CALVADOS or APPLEJACK) and, depending on the bartender, COINTREAU or raspberry syrup with crushed ice. The shaken mixture is strained into a glass and topped off with cold CHAMPAGNE. It's said to have been created at New Orleans' famous Arnaud's restaurant shortly after Prohibition ended. ? Copyright Barron's Educational Services, Inc. 1995 based on THE FOOD LOVER'S COMPANION, 2nd edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst. --- Old South Ambrosia Mary Moss Darden 1 fresh coconut 1 can crushed pineapple, with juice 2 apples, chopped 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely broken 5 oranges 1 can fruit cocktail, with juice 2 bananas, sliced sugar to taste cherries for garnish Grate coconut in bowl. Add peeled and sectioned oranges; discard membrane and seeds. Add pineapple, fruit cocktail, apples, bananas, and nuts. Sweeten with sugar, being careful not to add too much as the syrup from the fruit is usually sufficient. Chill before serving. This dessert is pretty garnished with cherries and served in a crystal bowl. |

It's alright in small doses. 1- 7oz package of shredded coconut (add more if you like) 3-4 small cans of mandarin oranges 1 pkg - mini marshmallows 1 pint sour cream 1 Lg can crushed pineapple, well drained Mix together and refrigerate for at least an hour so the marshmallows will desolve a bit. Add or decorate with 1 Sm jar of maraschino cherries, well drained and dried. -Tracy |

Stir constantly over high heat until the mixture thickens. Cool mixture. Pour over fruit, except bananas. Fold in Cool Whip and chill for 24 hours. Before serving stir well and add bananas. It may be necessary at this time to add a little more Cool Whip. You could certinly add coconut & pineapple, but what maks this recipe so good, in my opinion, is the addition of the Waldorf(ish) dressing. Steve |
