Aunt Pat’s World Famous (on two continents at least) fruit salad to be precise. A family tradition since I was a mere lad visiting the Middlebrook family (my mom’s sister) for Thanksgiving in La Crescenta, CA, scenically located in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest. Even as a child I always looked forward to the fruit salad part of the feast.
Once I had my own family I secured the recipe and have been making it for the holidays ever since. Here’s how it’s done:
I don’t think of it as a dessert, I prefer to enjoy it right alongside my turkey and fixings. And don’t you dare call it ambrosia because it is not! Don’t get me started.
Happy Thanksgiving!.
want to get rich quick?–count your blessings. happy thanksgiving john.
And to you as well Soju!
Classic recipe. I’m okay with everything but the coconut.
Yeah, I’ve met others who can do without the coconut as well. It’s not a vital part of the mix, I just use it as a sweetener.
