I don't know about you, but this time of year my fridge is overflowing with fresh fruits. There is nothing better than delicious summertime foods! Strawberries, cherries, blackberries, watermelon. It's all good! My family doesn't need any encouragement to reach for those fruits for snacking, but sometimes we like to kick it up a notch. I actually have a little chocolate fondu tower that I'll let the girls use with their fruits every now and again, but only for a once in a while treat as we do try to keep snacking on the healthy side around here. So, I was pretty intrigued when I found a recipe for Apricot Fruit Dip on Golden Blossom Honey that I thought would be a tasty and healthy way to add a little more flare to our fruits!
It's a light, tangy dip that is perfect for summer entertaining. The coconut gives it a tropical flare that is so tasty, and pairs well with a multitude of fruits.
Ingredients
Dip: 1 cup sour cream, light or regular
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 cup toasted coconut*
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
mixed fresh fruit such as chunks of cantaloupe, pineapple and mango

What's your favorite summertime fruit?
Ok, so that is pretty awesome. I am pretty sure I NEED to make this.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE strawberries. Blueberries are a close second, but I love strawberries in the summer!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good. I love fruit dip, and the toasted coconut is a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteI do love me apricots... neighbours' tree hangs into our yard so I always steal a handful each day for my daily juice :) in which I mash a handful of apricots without skin, a banana, an orange, some water and honey. And before that I did it with raspberries but I ate everything from the bush :)
ReplyDeleteI love them too, but then... my mouth gets all itchy and I know I shouldn't have eaten them. Yep, that's what we call repetitive behavior. So I guess I'd better stick to strawberries. I love it when a fridge is overflowing with fresh fruits...
DeleteItchy usually means allergies, Blue... that happens to me and kiwi sometimes :)
DeleteI wish my neighbor had an apricot tree I could swipe from. Lucky you! We do swipe their mulberries though ;)
DeletePoor Blue! That sucks you have allergic reactions to apricots. I would be so, well, blue about that ;)
Ok, this looks amazing. I have never had apricot dip, but I am sure going to make some now!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make some of this delicious dip. I love apricots and the chopped coconut sounds good too! I'm really into walnuts right now as well.
ReplyDeleteYum. Apricot. That is a new one I wouldn't ever think to include in a dip. I will have to try this one! - Jeanine

ReplyDeleteApricot may actually be my favorite summer fruit! My husband doesn't care for them, but that just means there's more for me!
ReplyDeleteStrawberries and watermelon! Our family could live on them. When it's too hot to turn on the stove/oven we will eat watermelon for dinner!
