Sweeten BBQ Season with Ambrosia

Disclosure- I received the mentioned product courtesy of the sponsor for the the purpose of this review. All opinions are genuine, based on my experience with the product, and have not been influenced by promotional items.


Who's ready for the 3 day weekend? Memorial Day is the kickoff to BBQ season, and I am definitely ready to fire the grill up and do some entertaining. While the grill sees the  most action this time of year, I believe the sides dishes also play an important role in rounding out a good BBQ cookout. Last week, I shared some yummy chicken skewers, but today I want to sweeten things up a bit and encourage you to check out this Ambrosia recipe from Golden Blossom Honey. 

Ambrosia

My sister-in-law makes something similar around Christmas, but she mixes in whipped topping and cherries (which you can totally do here too!) But for those who want something with a little less sugar or can't tolerate dairy, this is an exceptional substitute. I love the medley of tropical flavors here because the whole recipe just screams summer to me. And after that long winter, who doesn't need a bit more summertime reminders in their life? If you want to be a little extra, add in a small handful of chopped nuts to give it a bit more texture. I like walnuts, but pecans would be amazing here too. Or, just leave the recipe as is and it's still going to be a hit with your guests. It's all about doing what works for you!

Ingredients
2 apples, washed, cored, and cut into small pieces
2 cups green grapes, washed and cut into pieces
1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
2 kiwis, peeled and cut into pieces
2 navel oranges, peeled, cut into sections
1 small ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into small chunks, juice reserved
juice of 2 limes
3/4 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 cup water
juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup coconut flakes

  1. Yes, this would not be popular here without some whipped cream either :)
    Sadly, we only have grapes in Autumn :(
    What is naval orange, dahlink? An orange that went sailing?

  2. Sure looks like a win and with BBQs going strong, side dishes usually get welcomed after a few times. Always good to avoid the dairy at my sea too. Hopefully you have a good long weekend.

  7. It looks good. I usually do bring a fruit salad to the May birthday parties. It's just fruit with nothing added though.
