Best 9 Gingered Winter Fruit Ambrosia Recipes

GINGERED WINTER FRUIT AMBROSIA

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, honey or agave nectar and ginger in a small bowl.
• Cut away the peel and white pith from the grapefruit. The easiest way to do this is to cut the ends off, then stand on one end and cut away strips of skin and pith at the same time. Hold the grapefruit over your serving bowl and cut the sections away from the membranes that separate them. Place in the bowl.
• Peel, core and dice the pears. Add to the grapefruit. Add the grapes, dates, pomegranate seeds and chia seeds. Stir the lime-ginger marinade and toss with the fruit. Chill for 30 minutes or longer and toss again.
• Sprinkle the coconut over the top and serve.

FRUIT AMBROSIA RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• For the coconut: Preheat the oven to 350F and spread the coconut in an even layer. Toast for 8-10 minutes, turning the coconut (with a spatula) halfway between. Watch closely, that it's ready when it turns golden brown. If you're not careful, it can easily burn. Set aside to cool. For the fruit: Grate 1 teaspoon zest from 1 orange; set aside. Cut away peel and pith from oranges and grapefruits. Quarter oranges and grapefruits, then slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. NOTE: I recommend using the "supreme" method of slicing the grapefruits, which is more time-consuming. This isn't mandatory, but the membrane in between slices can be a bit "chewy". Combine oranges, grapefruits, pineapple. Taste the fruit. I find that my fruit was very fresh, and quite sweet (including the grapefruit) so I didn't need to add sugar. Otherwise, add 2 tablespoons sugar in bowl and toss gently to combine. Transfer fruit mixture to colander set over bowl and let drain for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally; discard liquid (or save for another use). NOTE You can prepare the fruit up to 24 hours in advance and the dressing up to 4 hours ahead. For the whipped cream: Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip cream, sour cream, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, orange zest, and vanilla together on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste the whipped cream. I found that I needed to add a couple more tablespoons of sugar and a little more vanilla. So, adjust to your personal taste. NOTE: For makeahead, refrigerate the components separately and combine to serve. Gently fold fruit mixture, whipped cream mixture, and coconut together in bowl. Serve.

SUMMER AMBROSIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice ginger into 1/8-inch rounds. Place ginger slices, granulated sugar, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer; stir to dissolve sugar. Continue to simmer until mixture tastes strongly of ginger, about 20 minutes. Strain, and transfer ginger syrup to refrigerator to chill.
• Pierce one of the soft coconut eyes with a screwdriver or ice pick. Drain the liquid, and discard. Repeat with remaining coconuts. Wrap a coconut in a kitchen towel; twist the ends of the towel, and gather them to form a handle. Bang the coconut against the floor until it cracks in half. Repeat with remaining coconuts.
• Use the two most imperfect halves to make the shavings for garnish. Place these halves, flesh side down, on a baking sheet; place in oven. Bake about 20 minutes, until coconut flesh begins to pull away from shell. Remove from the oven, and let cool 5 minutes. Pry the coconut flesh away from shell in pieces that are as large as possible. Using a Japanese mandoline or a vegetable peeler, shave coconut into long strips. Place shavings in an even layer on a baking sheet. Return to oven; toast until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, toss plums, nectarines, kiwis, blackberries, pineapple, and oranges with 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut and the reserved ginger syrup.

Place 2 tablespoons of remaining shredded coconut and a dollop of whipped amaretto cream into the bottom of each coconut half. Spoon fruit mixture and syrup into coconut halves; top each with another dollop of cream. Garnish with a handful of toasted coconut. Serve.
