AMBROSIA

Categories     Dessert     No-Cook     Thanksgiving     Orange     Cherry     Banana     Coconut     Pineapple     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 navel oranges
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
1 cup coconut, shredded fresh, fresh frozen, or packaged sweetened, according to taste or tradition
1 large banana
1 small (4 1/2-ounce) bottle maraschino cherries, drained well (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel the oranges, taking care to remove all the white pith. Slice the oranges over a bowl or storage container so that you catch any juice, and add the slices to the bowl. Circular slices look prettiest, hold together best, and are easiest.
  • Add the pineapple and coconut to the orange slices and gently toss. The ambrosia can be refrigerated up to two days, covered.
  • When ready to serve, slice the banana and toss it with other fruits. Add the cherries last.
  • Serve the ambrosia in your prettiest glass bowl. It will become a tradition.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh fruits and vegetables will give your ambrosia a more vibrant flavor and a more appealing texture. When possible, use organic produce to avoid pesticides and other chemicals.
  • Choose the Right Fruit: The type of fruit you use will dramatically impact the flavor of your ambrosia. Some fruits, such as pineapple and oranges, have a more acidic flavor, while others, such as bananas and grapes, are sweeter. Choose fruits that you enjoy and that complement each other well.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Dish: Ambrosia is a delicate dish, so it's important not to overcrowd it with too many ingredients. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 cups of fruit per 1 cup of coconut and marshmallows.
  • Chill Before Serving: Ambrosia is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the dish to set.

Conclusion:

Ambrosia is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its refreshing flavor and beautiful appearance, it is the perfect dish to bring to a potluck or barbecue. By following these tips, you can make sure your ambrosia is the best it can be.
