A MUST on almost every Southern Christmas table is the simplicity of Ambrosia. Just as there are hundreds of recipes for gumbo and chicken and dressing, it seems each family has their own favorite recipe for ambrosia. I prefer the orange/pineapple version. Log on to any website and you can find literally dozens of recipes. By adding cherries, grapefruit, whipped cream, marshmallows doesn't make it wrong, it just makes it YOURS.
Here's Lolly's Version
2 naval oranges, peeled*
2 tangerines, peeled
2 Halos (or Cuties), peeled
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup dried dates
1 T. powdered sugar
1/2 shredded coconut
*Peel with a knife so all white is removed and then slice into sections
Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
