Orange Pineapple Ambrosia

Introduction

A lighter version of Paula Deene's Great Granny's recipe! A lighter version of Paula Deene's Great Granny's recipe!
Number of Servings: 18

Ingredients

    12 medium juice oranges
    1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, with juice
    1 can (8-ounces) pineapple chunks, with juice
    1/4 cup flaked coconut
    1/2 jar (approx, 2 ounces) maraschino cherries - drained and cut in half
    2 bananas, sliced

Directions

1. Peel and section oranges being careful to remove all membrane & seeds. Do this over a large bowl to catch all juices.
2. Pour cans of pineapple into the bowl.
3. Add coconut & cherries.
4. Stir well to mix. Refrigerate till ready to serve.
5. Shortly before serving add slice bananas.

If your family likes things really sweet, you may wish to add a little Splenda, sugar or other sweetner before refrigerating the ambrosia, but I tought it was sweet enough without it.

If serving this as a dessert instead of a salad or side dish, you may wish to top with Cool Whip Free or light whipped cream and/or chopped nuts if desired, but I found this delicious enough with out the added fat & calories!
