AMBROSIA
(Food for the Gods) Have attractive-looking salad bowl-glass.
Have twelve large juicy oranges ready. One box strawberries. One pineapple (fresh or large can Hawaiian sliced pineapple). One box stoned black cherries.
Slice six of the oranges, removing seeds and rind, place a layer in the bowl, then a layer of strawberries, then a layer of pineapple, cut in small pieces, then a layer of cherries. Keep alternating layers of fruit until the bowl is filled. Take remaining six oranges and squeeze juice over contents of bowl.
A few maraschino cherries may be scattered over top of fruit. Place away in ice box three hours before serving.
This is the most delicious dessert imaginable. It is rightly named "Food for the Gods." Serve in large berry dishes. A little light cake (no icing), such as angel or plain pound, or sweet biscuits may be served with it. melind Summerlle
