Red White and Blue Ambrosia!
What is Ambrosia?
In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods bestowing immortality on all who ate it. Would that not be nice? However, at a picnic, a potluck, or a special dessert, ambrosia is a dessert that goes great with fried chicken, ham, and turkey.
What are the Main Ingredients in Ambrosia?
Originating in the Southern United States, today ambrosia is a fruit salad. Most ambrosia recipes contain pecans, canned or fresh pineapples, mandarin orange slices, miniature marshmallows, and coconut flakes in a whipped cream base.
Ambrosia is Also a Liquor
Ambrosia is also an all-natural Italian herbal liqueur that is bittersweet yet refreshing. It is made with tumeric, blood orange, cantaloupes, carrots, and botanicals.
Grab your aprons! Today we are making a version with red and blue fruits that would make the Greek Gods swoon.
