Ingredients

    -1 Pineapple
    -1/2 a cantaloupe
    -1 Navel Orange
    -10 Strawberries
    -4 tbsp Sweetened Shredded Coconut
    -1 tbsp Powdered Sugar

    Kitchen items you will need:
    -measuring spoons
    -good sharp kitchen knife
    -Cutting board, preferably one with a "moat" in it to catch all the juices that will be flowing from your mutilated fruit. :)
    -large container of some sort.

Directions

Chop off stem and leaves of Pineapple in one deadly blow! Then, cut in half lengthwise, and then cut each half in half. Cut out the core by cutting off the top 1/2 inch corner of the pineapple flesh on each quarter. Then proceed to make a grid pattern (in whatever size cubes you want your pineapple chunks to be) with your knife in the remaining flesh of the pineapple, remembering to cut deeply, but not through the rind. Using your knife, carefully cut the flesh off the rind, leaving yourself with a cubed Pineapple!
I wont go into the same detail with the melon, because most people know how to deal with a melon. So cube the melon, and cut the strawberries into slices. With the orange I like to peel it (of course), then segment it, then slice each segment into four triangles. That's the fresh fruit dealt with!
Then add your 4 tbsp of shredded coconut, and 1 tbsp of powdered sugar, and you are done! Ta-da! Ambrosia!
