Have on hand the following ingredients:
1 small pkg of shredded coconut
1 small container of sour cream (Light sour cream OK too)
1-2 cans of Mandarin oranges
1 small can of crushed pineapple
Drain oranges and pineapple* in a sieve. FIRST, mix sour cream and about a cup of coconut together. Next add lightly drained pineapple and mix well. LAST add the oranges and fold in to above mixture GENTLY to keep them from breaking.
Sometimes I add green grapes to this recipe. I don't know the exact measurements for anything but I've made it so many times and I think those are the ingredients I buy when I get hungry for it. You will have lots of coconut left over unless you can find the little cans of it.
Dottie Westwood's recipe based on Jewel Deli.
*If your pineapple is in real juice you drink what you drain off or add it to your orange juice - yum. This recipe would taste good with fresh orange sections cut up!
Didn't Mom put in 1 or 2 cups of rinsed and drained mini marshmallows too! I remember her saying it was too sweet if you didn't rinse the sugar off of the marshmallows?
