Diabetic Christmas Ambrosia

This makes 4 1/2 cup servings. The original recipe called for 3/4 c of orange sections and 1 1/4 c of grapefruit, but I can't have grapefruit because of my medication. If you are on diabetes medication, make sure you can have grapefruit before you decide to use it. Each serving has 59 calories.
