One of the best parts of summer is all the fresh fruit that is available! Is there anything better than chilled fresh fruit on a warm summer day? I don’t think so! I have a habit of including a fresh fruit with each meal, but last week I decided to have some fun and presented my family with sweet rainbow kebobs and with this fun Sugar and Spice Fruit dip to go with them! All of a sudden our ordinary Thursday night meal turned into a party! I was a Super MOM in their eyes and it only took minutes to do!
This sugar and spice fruit dip was GREAT –we all loved it. I have had this recipe for years written on a scrap of paper, stuffed in my recipe binder and never got around to making it until now. Too bad we missed out on years of yummy dipping! I am bringing the rest to the pool today and I am sure the boys will finish off any fruit I pack with this dip available! If you want a more citrus-y dip you could easily leave out the cinnamon and add some lemon juice and zest to the lime. I think the base of this dip is fantastic and it would be easy to tweak it according to your mood. I can tell you that I will be making this dip LOTS more this summer!
And my weekly menus are back for the summer here

The perfect creamy dip for fruit! YUM!!

1 can sweetened condensed milk
zest and juice of 1 lime

Um yeah, chilled fruit and a creamy dip is my favorite summer snack! That and frozen grapes. You can’t go wrong with frozen grapes on a hot summer day.

I made this for a get together with my in-laws yesterday and everyone loved it! The 1 tsp of cinnamon was too much for me though. It overpowered all the other flavors. Next time I make it I’m just gonna do 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
