Happy Thanksgiving.
Today I made ambrosia for the holiday feast.
Not cookies.
Ambrosia is a canned fruit salad, although it can be made with fresh.
There is a can of fruit cocktail, a can of pineapple tidbits, a can of Mandarin oranges, 1 bag of mini marshmallows, 1 c of sweetened coconut, and 1 c of walnuts, coarsely chopped. Mixed together in a big bowl with 2/3 c sour cream.
I also add an additional jar of stemless maraschino cherries because I know my audience and the two that you get in a can of fruit cocktail is NOT ENOUGH.
It is better the next day.
I made this early enough in the day that the fruit juices had enough time to work their magic in softening the mini marshmallows.
This makes a giant container or bowl of ambrosia.
I divided it and will bring along the bigger portion to Thanksgiving dinner.
