Ambrosia Old Recipes

Steps:

• Place the cream and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip until stiff peaks are formed. Add the sour cream and whisk to combine. Add the marshmallows, orange, pineapple, coconut, pecans and cherries and stir to combine. Transfer to a glass serving bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows and coconut. Add sour cream and toss to mix. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.

Steps:

• For the crumb topping: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch pan or 6 to 8 ramekins.
• Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Mix the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or fork.
• For the filling: Combine the apples, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan or divide evenly between the ramekins.
• Top the apple mixture with the crumb topping and bake until golden brown and bubbly around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then enjoy.

Steps:

• In a glass serving bowl, form a single layer of orange slices and top with a few slices of banana. Sprinkle a thin layer of coconut over the top. Repeat layering until all of these ingredients are finished, reserving a tablespoon of the coconut. Stir together the juices and honey, if using, and pour over the fruit. Follow with the Cointreau, if desired, and a final sprinkling of coconut. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for several hours.

Steps:

• Grate coconut in bowl. Add peeled and sectioned oranges; discard membrane and seeds. Add pineapple, fruit cocktail, apples, bananas, and nuts. Sweeten with sugar, being careful not to add too much as the syrup from the fruit is usually sufficient. Chill before serving. This dessert is pretty garnished with cherries and served in a crystal bowl.
