Ingredients

Large navel oranges

Sugar

Shredded coconut

Directions

The tricky part is that you have to remove the orange membranes - the absolute meanest thing my older cousin did to me when I was little.

I realized only last year the extremely easy way to do it:

Slice off the top and bottom of an orange so that it's flat on either end.

With a sharp knife, cut away the rind - including all the pith and the outer section membrane.

Slice orange in half then separate sections, removing membranes as you go.

Add sugar, a little less than you think you should, depending on how sweet the oranges are (that's why there's no measurement).

Add as much coconut as looks good to you - then add a little more.

Chill several hours.

Taste to see if it needs any more coconut or sugar.

Chill till ready to serve.

Ah, marvelluex! At once, you win new friends!

This is the ambrosia I remember, plain and simple. At my grandmother's Christmas dinner this was served as an accompiment to fruit cake, a delightful contrast in texture, flavor and color.
