Steps:

• Peel the oranges, taking care to remove all the white pith. Slice the oranges over a bowl or storage container so that you catch any juice, and add the slices to the bowl. Circular slices look prettiest, hold together best, and are easiest.
• Add the pineapple and coconut to the orange slices and gently toss. The ambrosia can be refrigerated up to two days, covered.
• When ready to serve, slice the banana and toss it with other fruits. Add the cherries last.
• Serve the ambrosia in your prettiest glass bowl. It will become a tradition.
