Fruit Ambrosia

sent in by Vickie

1 large can fruit cocktail
1 16 oz can chunky pineapple
1 16 oz can mandarin oranges
1 small jar maraschino cherries

"All" fruit "must be drained "well" drier is better

1 cup English walnuts (chopped)
1 carton cream cheese
1 carton cool whip
1 cup coconut (optional)
miniature marshmallows
½ bag / 3 cups full or 3 hand full (I'm a country cook LOL) you can actually use as many (less if you wish) as you want.

Fold cool whip and cream cheese together (do not use a mixer).
Add marshmallows, add coconut (I usually toast it).
Add fruits and nuts (mix).

Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

A recycled ice cream pail makes a great storage container and an easy way to carry it to relatives home or potluck party :).

This is a good family recipe because what Johnny or Sally doesn't like it can be easily altered and still tastes good :).

(recipe was passed on to me by a dear friend I don't know where it originated from)
