Ambrosia
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
Directions
* 4 medium or 3 large sweet apples (Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Pink Lady, etc.) * 20 oz can of pineapple tidbits in 100% pineapple juice (drain off the juice) * 24 oz can (drained) of mandarin orange segments * One 7 ounce package of shredded coconut (usually found in the backing aisle of the grocery store) * 1/4 to 1/2 cup of either sour cream (I use fat free) or plain or vanilla yoghurt - OR - a combination of the two, as your prefer!
Step 1 - Peel 4 medium apples
Peel 4 medium or 3 large sweet apples (Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Pink Lady, etc.). Core and then slice and dice them into small pieces (say 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/8th inch).
Step 2 - Combine the other fruit with the apples
To the apples, add the drained mandarin orange segments (you may have canned you own as I did, when they were in season), the can of pineapple tidbits (or small chunks, also drained of liquids first) and the package of shredded coconut.
Step 3 - Add the sour cream and/or yoghurt
Add the sour cream and/or yoghurt 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each, until there is just enough to coat the fruit. It really doesn't take much, just add to suit your tastes.
Step 4 - Eat!
Actually, Ambrosia's flavor improves after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight! Now, you and your family or guests can enjoy a sweet, tasty dessert that is actually GOOD for you... and your waistline!
