Yield 6 to 8 servings (4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 to 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cut into long wedges and cored
1 cup tangerine or orange segments, drained of juice (about 3 tangerines)
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, such as Baker's Angel Flake, toasted lightly (see Cook's Note)
1 cup mini marshmallows, stale (see Cook's Note)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
Freshly torn mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pineapple and sear until very dark on one side, 5 to 10 minutes; it should look almost burned. Flip and add the remaining coconut oil if the pan looks dry. Cook on the reverse side until darkly seared, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pineapple to a cutting board and let cool before cutting into medium dice.
Add the pineapple, tangerines, coconut, marshmallows, sour cream and orange extract to a nonreactive bowl. Fold to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours, until completely cold!!! Serve garnished with mint.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

6 navel oranges
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
1 cup coconut, shredded fresh, fresh frozen, or packaged sweetened, according to taste or tradition
1 large banana
1 small (4 1/2-ounce) bottle maraschino cherries, drained well (optional)

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.
