If you're from the South, and so y'all know almost Ambrosia Salad. It's one of those dishes that you'd e'er find on the table at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. It was also a "must-take" for whatsoever covered dish supper at church or a family become-together. Ambrosia, equally it's chosen, (you can driblet the salad part) is one of those old school recipes that brings back such fond memories that it was destined to make an appearance in my kitchen.
The start time I made Ambrosia for my family, I must say, I didn't quite get the overjoyed reaction I was expecting. Actually, what I got was iii sets of eyes staring at me with "what in the world is that" kind of await. Then came the questions about what was in Ambrosia and why would I put marshmallows in a salad. At present, I demand to say that until that mean solar day, several years ago, Mr. A Southern Soul had never even heard of this southern classic dish much less tasted it. That's when I had to practice a trivial "schooling" then that my fellas could understand merely how special Ambrosia is!
Information technology didn't have me long to convenience them to requite it a taste and that's when I knew I had 'em. Later a few bites along with several oohs and ahhs, my sugariness married man and my sons finally understood why I had to have them love Ambrosia as much as I practice. It merely tradition, equally simple as that.

Information technology only takes a few ingredients to make Ambrosia. Canned pineapple, mandarin oranges, and cherries are drained and set bated for about an hr to make sure all the juice is drained and the fruit dries out a bit. While that's happening, the grapes are cut in half and the pecans are roughly chopped. For my salad, I similar using fresh whipped cream which is super easy to make (you tin substituent with whipped topping) with heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Once the fruit is gear up, just mix in a bit of sour cream to the fluffy, whipped foam. Next, add together in the coconut and marshmallows.
