FRESH FRUIT AMBROSIA SALAD


1 pt. sour cream
1 bag miniature marshmallows1 small bag shredded coconut (optional)
1 pt. fresh strawberries cleaned and cut in half or small depending on size
1 fresh pineapple
4 small cans or 2 large cans mandarin oranges
2-4 pitted peaches or nectarines cut into bite-size pieces
2-4 fresh-pitted plums cut up into small bite-size pieces
Fresh raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries (use any fruit you like)

Start hulling and slicing strawberries. Place in a large colander and rinse clean. Cut pineapple into bite-size pieces and place in colander. Place all fruit in colander and allow all fruit to drain. After fruit is well drained, pour into a large bowl, add sour cream and half of the marshmallows and coconut, and mix together. Allow fruit salad to settle overnight in fridge. Remove from fridge and add more marshmallows as coconut to absorb the juice.

Yield 8-10 servings.


This can also be made with canned fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, and canned pineapple. Just remember to drain all fruit and add sour cream, marshmallows and coconut.
