Ambrosia Cheese Ball

Drain pineapple and oranges; pat dry between layers of paper towels and set aside.

Blend together the cream cheese and powdered sugar.

Stir in 3/4 cup dried cranberries, 3/4 cup coconut, the drained pineapple and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a serving bowl, forming into a mound.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup dried cranberries around the edges of the bowl. Arrange orange sections around the inside edge of the cranberries. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup coconut in center, and top with the remaining pecans.

Serve with gingersnaps, vanilla wafers or Wheat Thins.
