Southern Style Ambrosia

6 cups halve orange sections, seeds and membranes removed
3 cups pineapple (fresh is best but can works also)
3 cups coconut shredded
1 1/2 cups maraschino cherries, halved, drained, and rinsed
3/4 cups of pecans, chopped
--powder sugar to taste (depends on how sweet you like it)

Combined all the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Make sure you drain and rinse the cherries, so they don't turn the Ambrosia red. 
Also make sure you place the oranges in a colander to drain the juices till you mix all the ingredients. Do not worry it will make its own juice once you mix everything.
Now, chill it for at least 6 hours. Bon Appetite !
