Four plus stars!  Sounds yummy 😋!

My mama has always made an awesome ambrosia:  1.  Oranges (navel) peal with no outer white pieces cut up in small pieces.  2. Cherries.  3. Coconut shredded.  4.  Chopped pecans.  5.  Bananas sliced last, so they will not turn brown.  6.  Mama used cherry juice and a little sugar to sweeten this wonderful ambrosia. 
If there are leftovers, place in refrigerator, and it’s delicious for a snack, or breakfast!  Yummy 😋 
PS:  I plan to make this ambrosia for Thanksgiving and probably Christmas too!  I’ll use mandarin oranges instead of navel oranges.  Thank you.  Tina in GA, 🇺🇸

My Mother and Grandmother made this delicious treat every year on Thanksgiving and Christmas, a real treat for us kids.

Brought to family reunion. Made one with sliced almonds and one without instead of the pecans and it was a hit.. every bowl gone and I tripled the recipe
