Ambrosia Recipe

As a child growing up in Alabama, I remember having Ambrosia every Christmas. It was the only time we ever had it because an entire dish made up of fruit was considered a luxury in those days. Oh, we had an occasional orange, apple or banana but pineapple, grapes and nuts were reserved for special occasions in this wonderful Ambrosia.

Ambrosia Ingredients
* 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks
* 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange segments
* 1 firm large banana, sliced
* 1-1/2 cups seedless grapes
* 1 cup miniature marshmallows
* 1 cup flaked coconut
* 1/2 cup pecan halves or coarsely chapped nuts
* 1 cup dairy sour cream OR plain yogurt
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Ambrosia Directions
1. Drain pineapple and orange segments.
2. In large bowl, combine pineapple, orange segments, banana, grapes, marshmallows, coconut and nuts.
3. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream and brown sugar.
4. Stir sour cream mix into fruit mixture.
5. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
Serves: 4
