Fruit dips are perfect for summer or any time of year.
Cut your favorite fruits into smaller pieces and serve them with one of these great recipes for dipping, or pour our fruit sauce recipe over a fruit salad.
Serve a mixture of fresh fruit with one or more of these easy dip recipes at any picnic, barbecue or on a buffet table.
Fruit dips are a great way of getting kids to eat a variety of different fruits. (Although note that one of the dips contains alcohol, obviously NOT for kids.)
Fresh fruit with dip makes a wonderful light dessert too at any time of year.
Fresh pineapple, strawberries, kiwi and many other fruits are available all year round and make a light refreshing dessert with fruit sauce or a dip.
Use as little sugar as possible, just enough to make the dip a bit sweet. If you find that difficult at first, just cut the sugar a little bit at at time until you get used to the less sweet taste. Your body will thank you.
