I found an unnamed recipe that I must have hurriedly scribbled a while back. Is this Ambrosia, maybe?
1 can of pineapple drained
1 pkg pistachio pie filling
1 pkg mini marshmallows
1 pkg chopped pistachios
1/2 cup cool whip
1/2 cup coconut
1 jar of maraschino cherries drained
Combine all ingredients
It stops there-so you chill it after?
How long?
Is there enough liquid for the pie filling to “set up?”
I’ve never made this, put it sounds divine!
Can you ladies coach me, please??
Thanks in advance!
Those ingredients are very close to my Watergate Salad recipe, but I’ve never added cherries to mine.
Also, I use pistachio pudding mix, but it’s probably pudding and pie filling mix.
I’ve never put pistachios in mine because I use pecans but it probably doesn’t matter as long as it’s a little nutty. :-D
I think sometimes cherries are used as a garnish.
I had to look up what ambrosia is, Southern Living magazine says it’s a combination of some typical ingredients but you can make it any way you like. Usually it has whipped cream or something like that in it. Sometimes it’ll have mayonnaise or sour cream. Yuck! I’ll go with the sweet stuff. I didn’t know there was such a thing as pistachio pudding, I’ll have to go get some, sounds yummy.
Sounds more like Ambrosia Salad than a pie filling.
Does sound very yummy!
Sounds like Pistachio Pudding Dessert Recipe
Chill for an hour in the refrigerator.
“1/2 cup coconut”
“1 jar of maraschino cherries drained”
I buy that combination at my local grocery store as a side dish. There are no maraschino’s and I don’t think coconut either. At least I can’t say I have tasted coconut in it.

1 can (8 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained
