[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]please make that sour cream, canned mandarin orange slices, flaked coconut, and bag o' mini marshmellow salad someone mentioned years ago on DCUM as a classic Easter side dish.[/quote]

Oh you mean the famous Ambrosia of the 80's? My mom will make it!

I love that stuff.  I really shouldn't, but I do.  When I'm in a hurry I just fold together one cup each of canned mandarin orange slices, canned pineapple tidbits, mini marshmallows, sweetened flaked coconut, and sour cream.

When I want to make it a little fancier, I use this recipe:

One 15-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained
1½ cups diced fresh pineapple
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
One 15.25-ounce can apricots, drained and diced
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
¾ cup sour cream, kept very cold
½ teaspoon coconut extract
2 tablespoons sugar

1. Combine the oranges, pineapple, grapes, apricots, marshmallows and coconut in a large bowl.

2. Using a very cold whisk and a very cold, large bowl, whip the sour cream, coconut extract and sugar until fluffy.

3. Fold the fruit mixture into the sour cream mixture. Chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge and serve cold.[/quote]

There's an actual recipe?  We just opened cans and jars and mixed everything together.[/quote]

Interesting... I never had it with apricots.[/quote]
