Ambrosia Salad (My Momma's recipe)

Ambrosia salad is a combination of canned fruits with a ton of sugar.  I am not a big fan of this dessert, but my Mother would make this in the summer time for any event that was coming up in the family.  Our family enjoys it so since the holidays are here. Why not?


My mother asked me to make it for her, so I did.  Here is the recipe for you all to enjoy for your summer events.


Enjoy.

1/2 Cup Mini Marshmellows
1 Cup Sour Cream


Mixing It All Together

Grab a large bowl
Add all your ingredients


Mix well, cool for a few hours or over night and serve cold


It's great for a hot summer day, picnics, family gatherings and what nots.  Have fun and enjoy.
