Raspberry honey dip

Raspberries

This raspberry honey dip is the simplest dip you'll ever make. It's colorful, fresh tasting, and is a great compliment to meals.

Raspberry honey dip ingredients

• 1 cup raspberries
• 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup Honey [I prefer 1/4 cup]
• Coarsely chopped mint for garnish
• Salt [pinch]

In a small mixing bowl, or storage container, add both the honey, salt and raspberries. Use a fork to crush the raspberries, but do not over do it. The raspberries should still be thick, and not like jam. The more honey you use the more soupy the dip will become, as well. Garnish with fresh mint to your preference.

What to use raspberry honey dip for

I use this dip for sweet potato fries instead of ranch dressing or ketchup. I prefer a thicker consistency to use it as a spread for thick, hearty bread, or a crisp flat bread, also.

It  tastes great on crackers such as Melba toast with goat cheese or Brie. These serve as perfect party hors d'oeuvres, too.

Sweet potato fries

I normally don't eat sweet potatoes in the off season because I don't like them, but I had a few potatoes on hand and didn't want them to go to waste. I decided to make sweet potato fries with them.


Since I normally eat sweet potatoes baked I didn't realize how hard it is to slice them. Unlike white or golden potatoes they are very hard. Use a non-slip cutting board and a really sharp knife to make it easier. Place a damp washcloth under your cutting  board if you don't have a non-slip one.
