Ambrosia reminds me of lightnin' bugs and warm summer nights. It also reminds me of noisy Christmas kitchens and sitting at the "Kids' table" with my cousins. It's super easy to make and, if you're in a pinch, you can make it even easier by using a couple of cans of fruit cocktail instead of mandarin oranges and pineapple. My personal favorite is a combination of the 2...Mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, and pineapple... and I also like to add a mixture of cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk to mine.
SO versatile!
No wonder my grandmothers always served this light dessert.
