Hi all! Thanksgiving when I was a child (in the days before fresh fruit was available year round) was a time for making ambrosia. We children drooled as the adults combined the ingredients. Fresh coconut was used in the ambrosia. After my marriage, I made ambrosia every Thanksgiving and it continues to be a regular on the menu. Each holiday season, I make sure each one of my grandchildren gets to see how a real coconut is cracked. They are amazed and delighted. So from our family tradition of ambrosia has come a second tradition: "Granny cracks a coconut and we drink the coconut milk." Happy Thanksgiving to all! Fran
