Directions: |
Directions:In a clean, medium-sized bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat on high speed until stiff peaks have formed (mixture should reach a "Cool Whip" consistency). Add sour cream and stir until well-combined. Place the pineapple and mandarin oranges in a strainer and set aside to drain for about 30 minutes. Drain the cherries, rinse with cold water and set aside to drain. In a separate, large bowl, gently combine mini marshmallows, coconut and pecans. Add oranges, maraschino cherries, pineapple and grapes and gently fold in whipped cream/sour cream mixture over ingredients and stir until everything is evenly combined and all ingredients are covered in the cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour before serving. |

Notes: Nannette did a lot of stage direction for family/friend gatherings; however, she did contribute a very delicious ambrosia salad. Since her passing, I reconstructed her recipe based on memory and a little googling.
