ATHENA’S AMBROSIA

(Wonderful Fruit Salad my mom makes at Christmas. I’m going to turn it into a ferment). Use Organic ingredients, when available.

4-6 large, peeled oranges cut into bite sized pieces (about 1 X 1 inch)
1/4 c. chopped pecans
3/4 c. of red grapes, halved and seeded
1/2 c. shredded coconut, or more
1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice
6 cherries (red maraschino, halved) or black cherries, cut in half to make 12
2 T. maraschino cherry juice (or drop of red food coloring to turn liquid pink)
Enough water to cover and then some. The juice is best! The Ambrosia should be about half and half.

Taste. Add cane sugar or Dr. Cassar’s liquid stevia to taste. (Orange blossom would be heavenly)

CHILL OVERNIGHT TO BLEND FLAVORS. SERVE IN GLASS GOBLETS.

To ferment, add 1 T. plain yogurt to sterilized Mason jar of ambrosia. Cap and wait.

Adjust recipe to preference.
