1 (3 oz.) pkg. orange flavored gelatin
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. boiling water
3 oranges, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (8 1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 c. flaked coconut
1 c. chopped pecans
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream

Dissolve gelatin and sugar in boiling water; chill until mixture starts to thicken. Fold in remaining ingredients and blend well. Pour into a 13x9x2-inch pan. Chill until firm. Serves 10-12.

Don't cut up the oranges over the bowl where salad is being prepared because this will give you too much liquid. Some oranges have more juice than others and too much will not set as well. Otherwise it congeals rather quickly. This recipe is popular with anybody who likes regular ambrosia and is particularly favored by men.
