I love fruit and never thought it needed dipping. I was looking for something different and am glad I tried this. We had strawberries, apples and cantalope. The apples were the best with the dip. Would be great to make if your fruit isn't very sweet and your hate to throw it out. This is a mild pleasant dip that isn't real sweet. You can adjust that to your own taste.
