Recipe
Watergate Salad (aka Ambrosia)
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 (3.4 ounce) package of instant pistachio pudding mix
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple in pineapple or coconut juice
1/2 cup chopped soft nut (such as walnut)
1 container of Cool Whip, thawed
Mix the pudding mix, pineapple with the juices, nuts and marshmallows in a bowl.
Fold in the Cool Whip. Put in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.
*Cherries can be added to decorate the top, but the jar of marashino cherries didn't make it to the making of this dish.
April is the start of everyone getting out of the cold dark of winter, so a sweet dessert paired with a sharp, clean off dry white is a great pick me up! Our Powder Horn does have a sharp flavor with a hint of pineapple, which pairs well with the pineapple spread throughout the dessert.
A powder horn is what hunters would carry with them that held the gunpowder for their muzzleloaders. They generally had a metal tip put on the sharp end to make it easier to pour, a cap put on the open ended large end and a strap attached to carry it on their shoulders. They could be left plain, or decorated in a style known as scrimshaw.
