Since I couldn't listen right when you posted today, I saved this to to keep me company tonight in bed. When I was a child this salad was called Heavenly Hash. Same ingredients. Granny Pat you stir my memories of a lot of stuff. Great memories! Thank you for the visit today as I really enjoy you and your content! You make me giggle sometimes. Laughter is the best medicine ya know. Hope to see you tomorrow. I always look forward to your visits! God bless you Granny Pat! 🍊🍓🍍🥥🍇 🌹♥️🌹
Hey Granny Pat, my 9th grade home economics taught this recipe to us but she had us layer it in a see thru bowl. It was the only time i made it. Maybe if we would have mixed it like you did, it would have been a lot better! Thanks for sharing! Have an awesomely blessed evening!
I haven’t had this in years and sounds so good! I’m still struggling to figure out things on Facebook and the internet. I usually ask my grandkids for help then get the rolling eyeballs though they are really good about it. Just when I think I figured it out, something changes or I hit the wrong button 😳
Thank you again for being you Granny Pat💜 Thought I would mention this “tidbit” too. I believe it’s when you’re in the kitchen, but I am of the generation and “type” that likes the “tick- tick-tock” of your clock. I remember my mom used to tell me for puppies and babies that the sound of the clock ⏰ can be soothing to them. It’s funny though, my children ( who mainly had digital clocks, even in schools) do not like the “tick-tick-tick” sound. When they are going to sleep as adults, they will even move a clock so there isn’t ticking in the background. Do you think it is a generational thing? I do not mind it all and find it comforting.🕰️⏰⏱️🕝
Mmmm....that's what we called Ambrosia Salad. We would have it sometimes at Thanksgiving. We always had nuts in it too....Pecans. Sometimes we would put green or red grapes in it. That made it really good! But this brings back memories! Love your recipes!
I always enjoy your chatting. I Can recall when we could only get large white marshmallows and cut them up with scissors. We thought we were lucky to have those.
Pat, that is so pretty. I love ambrosia salad. Yours look so pretty. Maybe the colored marshmallows. I feel like having a get together just to make this and serve it. But it looks so pretty in that trifle dish. Your beautiful dishes really make such a nice presentation. Thank you for being you Pat. From Shirley.
Thanks again for a great recipe! Brings back childhood memories when mama made it!! I yell out “OH NO!” when you bang your metal spoon on your glass bowls!! I’d hate to see your Jade-ite bowl chip. Use a rubber spatula please. Thanks for a fun recipe! LuvU❤️in San Antonio!!
Hi Ms.Pat, I really love your hair natural. You just look younger to me.Love the Whitehall dish. It’s lovely. Keep up all the good work. Love your channel.Love from across the mountain In Lebanon, VA.
I'm 30, and I absolutely adore watching you. You make it feel like I have my Grandma right here with me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. God bless you Granny Pat ❤
Hi Granny Pat💕You are one wonderful (LADY)You’re sense of humor is the best!!!I love watching all the video’s that you share with us.The way you explain & talk us through-what ever you’re making is so fun to watch.Love,LoveLove you💜Thank you so much🌟👍💜
Hey Granny Pat, messaging you from Pike County!! My Mother and I enjoy your videos so much. You have became a topic of conversation between us. Mother made your 5 cup salad this morning to take to a dinner today. Of course, we have your cookbook which we reference often. We wish you the best and are excited for you and your channel. Keep making your videos and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. ♥️🙏
Bright colors suit you! You look so nice! I can’t wait to make this. My Mum was from England, and we had the most incredibly dull food! This has opened up new flavor choices for me. Thank yiu♥️👍🏻🫠
Hi Granny Pat! I have not had 5 cup salad for many years. I am going to make some as soon as I go to the grocery. We always had it at Easter in a big cut glass bowl. We also had it when I was in high school in the 60's at lunch. I love your videos in the kitchen and we got another great one today. Enjoy your delicious 5 cup salad. Love you. Nancy from IN. ❤😊
Pretty dish and looked so good. Some of your pecans sprinkled in might be good..just a thought. Enjoyed watching you make that very pretty five cup salad. Enjoy. Will be watching for next video.❤❤
Granny Pat...you wore the perfect shirt today as it matches your 5 cup salad perfectly! I haven't had this for years! Mom used to make it in the 60's! Yes you're right! Women have been making this for years! My grandma used to make it too! I'm going to make this soon! My family will love it! Thanks for sharing this with us! Love ya!❤❤❤ going to get a mug soon! You always brighten my day! 🌞🌞🌞
I LOVE Ambrosia salad and haven't had it in YEARS! I remember it being served at family functions when we were growing up. Also, my mom made a salad with a lettuce leaf, a slice of cream cheese and pineapple. Love all your videos Granny Pat!❤
Such a gorgeous serving dish. In the 50’s and 60’s, I remember we would dump all the ingredients minus the sour cream or whip cream in a bowl without strawberries then stir it all together along with walnuts or pecans and maraschino cherries. Lastly we would add sour cream or real whip cream as needed. Often we would leave out the sour cream or whip cream and serve it as fruit salad. We always had it during the hot summertime in California. I’m drooling. Ever heard of Perfection Salad? That’s an oldie. Thinly shredded cabbage, diced celery, thinly sliced bell peppers and pimento pieces. Dissolve clear gelatin with water, vinegar and sugar. Pour veggies in container then pour on the clear gelatin covering it. Refrigerate until set up. Turn out upside down on to frilly lettuce on a clear serving dish. If anyone wants the recipe I can add it here. Glendale AZ 🇺🇸
I just wanted to tell you that I really love your videos I'm in my 50s and I'll listen to your testimony about the snow and wreck. And I just really wanted to tell you really blessed my heart and you touched me in so many ways. God is my provider my shelter my healer. You are alive to tell your story to someone like me. I pray that God blesses you richly in so many ways. Thank you.
I love your voice💕 and I have always loved Ambrosia salad - like you, sometimes I just get a hankering for it. Besides being colourful, which does look so pretty- but the pastel marshmallows are actually fruit flavoured! ( Definitely adds some extra flavor) I also add maraschino cherries and some of the “juice” ( sort of almond flavour) Strawberries and/or raspberries and nuts make great additions too💜 Thank you so much! Remember to drink water 💦 too Granny Pat - the hydration helps you more than you know💧
Granny Pat, I love your videos so much! They remind me so much of all the wonderful years of my life I spent in the kitchen with my grandma learning about cooking and her recipes while we talked and she shared stories from her life. I love learning from you just like I learned from her! Your videos make me think about all those cherished memories I have with her and bring me so much happiness. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your recipes and stories with all of us ❤ Looking forward to the next one!
Hello Granny Pat. This is the 1st time hearing about this recipe and I must say I'm impressed and what a pretty dish it looked. I love your fotstoria dish you put it in. Love you Granny Pat and you taught me something tonight and in my 68 years on this earth I had never heard of it. I love to snuggle in bed at the end of a hard day and you help me to relax and wind down. You complete my day Granny Pat.❤
Hey there Granny Pat, Yummy 😋 dessert! Thanks for sharing. I think most of us have been exposed to this dessert. If you had family that cooked back in the day. ❤ ya Granny Pat Thanks for sharing. I am going to make this tonight for a snack- can hardly wait .❤ & Prayers
Dear Granny Pat, Ambrosia Salad has been around longer than you and I have. It's not new, the earliest recipe dates from 1867. It does sound pretentious though so 5 cup salad sounds way more all-encompassing 😬
Dear Granny Pat (I almost wrote Professor Pat since I sent a message to one of my professors and left two in the drafts for the other two professors), I just wanted to let you know. Please forgive me if I send many messages, but when something crosses my mind, I find myself wanting to express it. It's as if, unlike before, now I'm eager to make up for all that lost time, ❤ Of instances when I kept quiet although I had something I wanted to say because I was very shy.. I simply wanted to say you're incredibly intelligent, and I hang onto every word you share. Your videos are truly fabulous! 🌳🐾
Good evening Granny Pat! I just wanted to let you know that I made your chicken cornbread stuffing casserole and it was absolutely delicious! Big hit! ♥️
Hate to break it to ya Granny Pat, but I've heard it called Ambrosia since I was a child! Though I've also heard 5 cup salad too. I think it just depends on where you grew up, because I've also heard Watergate salad get called pistachio salad.
My mother made ambrosia every year during Christmas. Her mother made it according to old recipes. This goes back to 1800’s. Oranges instead of Mandrin Oranges, whip cream instead of Kool Whip, pineapple, fresh coconut, black walnuts etc. No marshmallow. Names just change. Yours sounds so yummy. Good eating.👏
Aww, I needed to see this today. I've been all tears as we move from West Texas to Hawaii. I get to see my grandma in 2 weeks for one last goodbye for the next 4 years. She's a lot older, and her health ain't on her side anymore so I plan to spend a lot of good days pestering my grandma. She would make me this salad as a young girl. That, and her famous banana or carrot cake bread. It is such a good treat and looks beautiful in your dish. Thank you for sharing. It's like walking into my favorite memory.
I know this may not sound good, but I also like some cottage cheese in it. It gives a bit of texture and just a hint of savory. You know, like salty and sweet together? I also like a few pecan pieces. Pretty and colorful, Miss Pat. I know you’ll enjoy your “ambrosia”. 😊
My mother used to make this but she didn’t use sour cream or cool whip. She just used fruit and coconut and pecans. My sister and I was talking about how recipes were different from one area to another.
I remember my granny making this wonderful dish. One of my very favorites too. Thank you for bringing some wonderful memory back to my soul. God bless you from this Ky Girl.
Your salad looks delicious! The so called Ambrosia salad has seedless halved red grapes in it. Delicious! Certainly works for the sweet tooth! Your channel is delightful and always brings a smile to my face. xoxo
I make this every Easter, and sometimes Thanksgiving too. Its my daughter's favorite desert and she sometimes asks me to fix it for her birthday. Ive heard it called both, 5 cup salad and ambrosia. What I really miss, is my Grannys Watergate salad and also the Watergate cake she would make from scratch! Thank you for sharing this recipe...I enjoyed it a lot! God bless! East Tennessee ✨️
I watched a video from Come Sit At My Table a few weeks ago called "5 cup salad". He is also in Kentucky. My grandmother made what she called ambrosia salad and she was from the south. This was in the 50s and 60s so it's definitely not new and has been called Ambrosia.
Ambrosia salad? Na no, now it's called Patricia's salad!! Hh, i was going to make another joke and say, " Haven't you heard? now It's actually called ... And then I was going to think of a name, but then I realized what better name than the one who is making it, the author of this new and improved and totally new salad 8 cups salad." Hehh😂
Hi Granny Pat , i love ambrosia salad. Yours looks delicious. Díd you know that the little marshmallows are different flavors 😊 i use a lot od maraschino cherries and sometimes bananas . If you stir your sour cream container upside down in the refrigerator it won't get runny on top.
I remember my mother having the hadwritten recipe for Ambrosia Salad on an index card. She made this as a treat for us at least 50 years ago. Never seen it as 5 cup salad and we're from the Eastern Kentucky coal fields of Pike County kentucky. 1 big difference though, my sister still has the original index card with the recipe on it....But...it does not include COOL whip. Instead, the recipe called for Dream Whip. And that makes all the difference in the taste of the recipe.
@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 Yes! They still make it. It comes in a box...but is so much more flavorful than cool whip and a little sweeter. Ambrosia was a favorite treat growing up as it was cheap to make and mom and daddy had 6 children. I love watching your videos so much. Your stories bring back lots of memories of my life and make me think of so many funny events growing up. Keep up the good and beautiful work of spreading your joy! We need that in these times.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your top is so pretty today!! You look beautiful!! My mom used to make this salad too, and she called it 5 cup salad too. It was always a hit when she made it. 😊
Here in the Northeast my aunt who is in her late 70s always made ambrosia salad. She would use the same ingredients, but use oranges instead of mandarin and add maraschino cherries too. ❤
My great-grandmother made this, it was called Pineapple Fluff. My Uncle loved it better than anything. He could eat the whole bowl. It’s great stuff! :)
I hadn’t thought of this fruit salad in a very long time! My dear mother always loved this! She called it Seven Layer Salad. I will make some and share it with my daughter and her family. Thank you!
There is a recipe called 7 layer salad. It is a vegetable salad. I posted the recipe about a year ago. Scroll back for it. Seven layer salad. One of my favorites.
In Minnesota, we call this fruit salad.( I think outside of a handful of states in the Midwest, fruit salad is mixed fruit, with some kind of lemon juice and powdered sugar for a dressing.) My grandmother made the best I've ever tasted and for the life of me I can't replicate it. She used the fruit flavored marshmallows like you do, but would often add some jello powder to flavor the cream with raspberry. I make a banana split fruit salad with banana pudding mix, whippee cream, sliced bananas in a little lemon juice, diced maraschino cherries, crushed pineapple, and marshmallows. It's enough to rot every tooth out of your mouth, but by is it a treat on special occasions.
Since I couldn't listen right when you posted today, I saved this to to keep me company tonight in bed. When I was a child this salad was called Heavenly Hash. Same ingredients. Granny Pat you stir my memories of a lot of stuff. Great memories! Thank you for the visit today as I really enjoy you and your content! You make me giggle sometimes.

Pineapple!? Did i hear pinrapple!?!?😂 I could live off just pineapple!
Same here! I love sweet pineapple chunks
Granny Pat, could you please read us a bedtime story, maybe once a week? Thank you for being there and you are such a blessing to us all. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I think that's a very good idea! My grandma used to read to us at night. Those were the days❤
Oh, Pat! I love your mixing / measuring bowl- green!❤️
I haven’t had this in years and sounds so good! I’m still struggling to figure out things on Facebook and the internet. I usually ask my grandkids for help then get the rolling eyeballs though they are really good about it. Just when I think I figured it out, something changes or I hit the wrong button 😳

Hi Ms.Pat,
I really love your hair natural. You just look younger to me.Love the Whitehall dish. It’s lovely. Keep up all the good work. Love your channel.Love from across the mountain In Lebanon, VA.
Both of my grandmothers always made it with mixed fruit and called it ambrosia. We had it at every barbecue in the 1970's and 80's
I sometimes have to start your videos several times over because your voice is so soothing I nod off lol!
What you are saying is “I put you to sleep.” HA!
So nice and lovely 🌹 love you old grandma live you long time with the better health and wealth good luck

That's exactly Patricia's explanation at the beginning of this video 😂 cheers 🍻 my kind friend
Or is it HEAVENLY Hash?... We called it Baptist Fruit Salad.
That was the third name, Heavenly Hash.

You are much too kind. It’s such a pleasure having good things said about you. We all need that.
Give me your first name and the state you are from.
Those little colored marshmallows are my fav. They are fruit flavored
Thankyou for this recipe, would be perfect for Valentines or Easter💖🌹
Heavenly Hash! I’d say the proper term is Ambrosia Salad.
Granny Pat. I will never call it Ambrosia salad again Ty for all thst you share with us all ❤🎉
Yep I drool sometimes and so does my husband. He started first because he’s older😊😂😮
That’s funny. I drool on my pillow at night. I can’t believe I just wrote that! Also I don’t think I have ever typed the word drool.😂
Thank you very much putting mini colored marshmallows, and I love the perfect clear bowl you put it in!!!!!! Just the right size!!!!!
My mother used to make this when I was a kid for 60+ years
Beautiful!
Good evening Granny Pat! I just wanted to let you know that I made your chicken cornbread stuffing casserole and it was absolutely delicious! Big hit! ♥️
Hate to break it to ya Granny Pat, but I've heard it called Ambrosia since I was a child! Though I've also heard 5 cup salad too. I think it just depends on where you grew up, because I've also heard Watergate salad get called pistachio salad.
Location makes the difference.
I just love listening to you speak! 5 cup salad sounds delicious, gonna have to make it!
We always called it ambrosia and/or fruit salad. Oh my gosh, I have a green bowl just like your's!
What a beautiful dessert 🍨
My mother made ambrosia every year during Christmas. Her mother made it according to old recipes. This goes back to 1800’s. Oranges instead of Mandrin Oranges, whip cream instead of Kool Whip, pineapple, fresh coconut, black walnuts etc. No marshmallow. Names just change. Yours sounds so yummy. Good eating.👏
I grew up with 5 cup salad as well. Love it. So yummy. 😋 looks so nice to serve for any holiday or just ‘because’! You are such a dear lady. Blessings
Looks beautiful too in your bowl.Yummy,my it looks so delicious!👍💞😄
Granny Pat, you look so pretty in that top, the colours really suit you ❤
Made this at Christmas. I almost made myself sick eating so much. Thanks for the video. P.S. you made me drool.
Aww, I needed to see this today. I've been all tears as we move from West Texas to Hawaii. I get to see my grandma in 2 weeks for one last goodbye for the next 4 years. She's a lot older, and her health ain't on her side anymore so I plan to spend a lot of good days pestering my grandma. She would make me this salad as a young girl. That, and her famous banana or carrot cake bread. It is such a good treat and looks beautiful in your dish. Thank you for sharing. It's like walking into my favorite memory.
Do videos of conversations with your grandmother. You will treasure them.
@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 thank you for that idea. I think I'll do just that.
Thank you so very much. I have totally forgotten about this delicious salad. What a treat. 🍍🥥🍊🍒
I know this may not sound good, but I also like some cottage cheese in it. It gives a bit of texture and just a hint of savory. You know, like salty and sweet together? I also like a few pecan pieces. Pretty and colorful, Miss Pat. I know you’ll enjoy your “ambrosia”. 😊
Good evening. Granny. Ill have to try it. Easier is better as you age. So tasty.

Its my daughter's favorite desert and she sometimes asks me to fix it for her birthday.
Ive heard it called both, 5 cup salad and ambrosia.
What I really miss, is my Grannys Watergate salad and also the Watergate cake she would make from scratch!
Thank you for sharing this recipe...I enjoyed it a lot!
God bless!
East Tennessee ✨️
As good as Watergate salad is, I have never made it.
Thanks for this recipe! Never made it before but plan on picking up ingredients and will try it!
I can't wait to be this age! All the knowledge I'll have.❤
Your hair, makeup, and outfit look great! You look very pretty without your trademark glasses! Nice video:) My aunt Kay called it Heavenly Hash!
I love your top! That is a neat little chopper.
I watched a video from Come Sit At My Table a few weeks ago called "5 cup salad". He is also in Kentucky. My grandmother made what she called ambrosia salad and she was from the south. This was in the 50s and 60s so it's definitely not new and has been called Ambrosia.
Looks yummy Granny Pat !!😋 I wish I had a big bowl of it right now!!🤗💕
This looks so yummy!!! I’m definitely making this. Loved your video thank you Granny Pat for sharing 💜
👍 mmm, that sounds like a delicious dessert. Enjoyed this video!
Ambrosia salad? Na no, now it's called Patricia's salad!! Hh, i was going to make another joke and say, " Haven't you heard? now It's actually called ... And then I was going to think of a name, but then I realized what better name than the one who is making it, the author of this new and improved and totally new salad 8 cups salad." Hehh😂
Beautiful 5 cup salad 😊
Hi Granny Pat , i love ambrosia salad. Yours looks delicious. Díd you know that the little marshmallows are different flavors 😊 i use a lot od maraschino cherries and sometimes bananas . If you stir your sour cream container upside down in the refrigerator it won't get runny on top.
Wow! I didn’t know that! My kitchen is not a test kitchen. Wish it was!
I remember my mother having the hadwritten recipe for Ambrosia Salad on an index card. She made this as a treat for us at least 50 years ago. Never seen it as 5 cup salad and we're from the Eastern Kentucky coal fields of Pike County kentucky. 1 big difference though, my sister still has the original index card with the recipe on it....But...it does not include COOL whip. Instead, the recipe called for Dream Whip. And that makes all the difference in the taste of the recipe.
I am assuming Dream Whip is something you mix yourself that becomes Whipped Cream.
@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 Yes! They still make it. It comes in a box...but is so much more flavorful than cool whip and a little sweeter. Ambrosia was a favorite treat growing up as it was cheap to make and mom and daddy had 6 children. I love watching your videos so much. Your stories bring back lots of memories of my life and make me think of so many funny events growing up. Keep up the good and beautiful work of spreading your joy! We need that in these times.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your top is so pretty today!! You look beautiful!! My mom used to make this salad too, and she called it 5 cup salad too. It was always a hit when she made it. 😊
Here in the Northeast my aunt who is in her late 70s always made ambrosia salad. She would use the same ingredients, but use oranges instead of mandarin and add maraschino cherries too. ❤
You got me hungry for this 5 cup salad (ambrosia) salad. I’ll have to make me some.You can also put marshino cherries in it for color n sweetness.
I love Ambrosia Salad. Yours looks beautiful in your glass dish. I bet it tastes delicious, too. Love you!❤
You look so pretty. Love your channel. Hey from Syracuse NY.❤
My mother made a very similar recipe called Frog Eye Salad. (no lettuce at all) It was my fav!!
My great-grandmother made this, it was called Pineapple Fluff. My Uncle loved it better than anything. He could eat the whole bowl. It’s great stuff! :)
I hadn’t thought of this fruit salad in a very long time! My dear mother always loved this! She called it Seven Layer Salad. I will make some and share it with my daughter and her family. Thank you!
There is a recipe called 7 layer salad. It is a vegetable salad. I posted the recipe about a year ago. Scroll back for it. Seven layer salad. One of my favorites.
My Mom used to make that I don't remember sour cream ,I like it with coconut in it
In Minnesota, we call this fruit salad.( I think outside of a handful of states in the Midwest, fruit salad is mixed fruit, with some kind of lemon juice and powdered sugar for a dressing.) My grandmother made the best I've ever tasted and for the life of me I can't replicate it. She used the fruit flavored marshmallows like you do, but would often add some jello powder to flavor the cream with raspberry. I make a banana split fruit salad with banana pudding mix, whippee cream, sliced bananas in a little lemon juice, diced maraschino cherries, crushed pineapple, and marshmallows. It's enough to rot every tooth out of your mouth, but by is it a treat on special occasions.
Fruit salad is great no matter how you prepare it.
This does bring back memories from my childhood sitting at my grandma’s table full of family waiting to eat our Easter meal. She had pecans in hers.😊
I would love to see all your jade ware sometime. I have a few pieces and think it’s lovely.
Watch the video, JADEITE, PYREX, AND CORNINGWARE.
Watch JADEITE, PYREX, AND CORNING WARE. I stopped adding to my collection over 25 years ago. Too expensive.

My aunt made Heavenly Hash.

Hi Granny Pat your Ambrosia or 5 cup salad looks so good. I love your Jadite collection too.
