Anyone know what Grandma Did?
When I was little, grandma always made this stuff with what I think was whipping cream, diced apples with their skins on, chopped walnuts. More than that I can't say. Any ideas what I need to do to make it again. It was an everyday type item, not a holiday food. But I never saw what else she did to it and I'm craving some food memories of her. Thanks

Sure it wasn't Mayo she used? It might have been Waldorf salad.

I think she was doing her own version of ambrosia. I just looked up the recipe and fromt what i can see, the only thing i was missing was the sugar - I know she beat the cream. and added the fruit. I wasn't sure about vanilla or anything more. Going to give it a shot for dinner tonight. Thanks for your help.

I am so glad you asked the question. Ambrosia and Waldorf Salad are memories for me too, but for the life of me I could not bring up the descriptive titles. We made them often and enjoyed them. As I cannot eat fresh fruit now I will enjoy the memory of both dishes and my Mother preparing them with some help from her teenage daughters. Those were special additions to a meal.
