GRANNY’S SOUTHERN AMBROSIA
GRANNY’S SOUTHERN AMBROSIA
Try this retro Southern Granny's Ambrosia Recipe. This is the real deal without the current trend of marshmallows or whipped cream! Easy and delicious!
This Ambrosia Recipe goes perfectly with Southern food. The citrus tang is a great foil for spicy or fried foods. Plus, it stays good in the refrigerator for a few days so you don’t have to eat it all at once. I’ve been eating a bowl as dessert the last few days. Yummy AND it packs quite the vitamin C punch.
Ingredients
- 6 large navel oranges
- 1 large ruby red grapefruit
- 1/2 of a 14 oz can of pineapple tidbits and juice use the packed in juice pineapple
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut shreds
- 1/3 cup icing confectioners sugar or to taste
Instructions
- With a sharp paring knife, peel the navel oranges and the grapefruit.
- Cut out each section with your paring knife, leaving the pith and membranes behind. If you have fruit left behind, use your fingers to scrape it out and into the bowl.
- Add the pineapple tidbits and juice.
- Stir in the sweetened coconut and sugar. Taste and adjust your sugar as needed. Cover and refrigerate. Can be served immediately but tastes better after sitting overnight. Serve with additional coconut on top for garnish.
