Ingredients:

1 Granny Smith apple

1 navel orange

3/4 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon sugar

4 oz. sour cream

Juice of 1 lime

Preparation:

Peel and core apple then cut into 1/2 inch cubes.  Coat apple pieces well with lime juice.  Set aside.  Peel orange and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.  Whip cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.  Whip sour cream into whipped cream.  Drain apple pieces and pat dry.  Fold the apple, orange, coconut, and almonds into cream mixture.  Chill for at least two hours.

Variation:

You can add maraschino cherries, pineapple or substitute your favorite fruits.

History:

I had an extra apple from a pie recipe and a fresh orange from my tree that needed to be used.  This is what they became.  It's strange that I would like this because I hated coconut as a kid.
