The cinnamon and nutmeg were way too over-powering. Would definitely leave them out or cut back to a pinch.

I really like this salad combination using the cinnamon and nutmeg spices instead of jello flavoring. I think it gives it a little more sophistication. Super easy to make and very yummy. This will be a keeper in my family. Made it for Memorial Day dinner with hot dogs etc.

I only gave this 4 out of 5 because I used this recipe as a starting point. I followed the advice of other reviewers and cut back on the coconut, cinnamon and nutmeg (great advice!). Here's what I did different - and it's the best Ambrosia Fruit Salad I've ever had! I left out the canned fruit coctail and instead added fuji apple, black grapes, bananas and extra walnuts. SO wonderful this way. I like the crisp, cool texture the apple and grapes add. It would be pretty mushy without them.

Very tasty and cheap! I bought all generic items and spent about 6 bucks. Awesome recipe especially when fresh fruits are out of season.

Absolutely delicious! I cut the seasonings by half like many reviewers suggested and it was perfect.

I made this recipe for New Year's Eve and I made a few alterations to it considering a few other reviews I read. I left out the spices, added 2 fresh bananas, 2 fresh crunchy apples, plate of fresh grapes and 4 oz. of sour cream on top of the 8 oz. cool whip which was extra creamy, by the way. While I was doing all of this I let the marshmallows soak in the drained juices from the canned fruits so they would soften quicker (got this tip from a reviewer). I mixed everything together and refridgerated for about an hour. This dish was gone by the end of the night. Great recipe! I also ended up making punch and added all the juices (including the maraschino juice) into the punch, it was delightful. 1 2 liter Cherry 7-up, half gallon of Hawaiian punch, the fruit juices and sherbet! Happy Holidays!

I halved the spices and it was still way too much. I recommend putting only a quarter of the nutmeg and cinnamon.

Good recipe that you can add or subtract what you like and it always turns out well. I like to add more mandarin oranges and some sour cream to counteract the sweetness a bit. Always a hit with the kids :) Ok, and with Grandma too!

If you do not like the taste of fruit then use this recipe. All you can taste is the nutmeg. I made this Christmas morning so could not get to a store to make something else for salad. It was evident by my family and guest salad plates that they did not like this either. Will never make again.

Always find it invaluable to read the comments BEFORE the preparation begins. This is a nice recipe. Decided to try this keeping comments in mind with a few tweaks. Made this for 25 people. Left out the spices. Added a few big spoonfuls of sour cream. Used the extra creamy CoolWhip but will use Mfg. Whipping cream next time, (no preservatives.) Added a dry pkg of Pistacio Pudding mix as well (light green color), cut coconut in half (a must), always use sugar free fruit in it's own juice instead of sugar water. Soaked for two or three minutes the multi-colored marshmallows in the fruit juice (from cans) prior to adding to the bowl. Speeds the softening of the marshmallows. Throw juice away. Chopped and toasted walnuts to add, just prior to serving. For presentation, toasted a bit of coconut to place in the center of serving dish and topped with a maraschino cherry in the center. Refreshing, tasty, well received. Enjoy!

This recipe couldn't have been easier to make. Very simple yet extremely deliscious! I didn't have nutmeg, so I left it out and it still tasted great! I'll make it again next time I need to bring something to a dinner/get together!

Excellent recipe, so easy! I used the Creamy Cool Whip like other reviewers and also left out the spices. I made 1 1/2 batch for a luncheon and it was almost gone when I cleaned up! I will definitely make again!
