Day 11: Kitchen

:Kitchen:

This one will have to do, since I ended 
up with another migraine 
today,and so could barely function by
 the time I got home from work.
This is from awhile ago when I was making
Stuffed Shells for supper.

I know...2 posts in the same day that actually say something...a shocker! Just wanted to post a recipe that is on of my family's favorites. I have several other favorite recipes that I will post later on.
 Sorry.....I don't have any pictures!:)
 

Apple Dip

(a.k.a Fruit Dip..but we use mostly for apples!:)

4-8oz. pkgs cream cheese, softened

11/2 cups sour cream

1/2 -1 c honey (depends on your preferred sweetness level- I

usually use about 1/2 or a little more.)

1 t. vanilla

1/2 -3/4 t. real orange extract

1 T. freshly grated lemon peel

1/2 c. whipping cream
your choice of fruit.....I usually do apples!:)

Cream the cream cheese until it is smooth. (This is a VERY important step.

otherwise you will end up with lumpy fruit dip...and you just can't have that!)

Mix in the sour cream,honey,vanilla extract,orange extract, and lemon peel.

Mix well, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add whipping cream and mix well,

just until slightly fluffy.Scrape into serving dish.Garnish with more lemon peel if desired.

Serve with your choice of fruit. Enjoy this fattening fruit dip to your heart's content!:)

There are a few variations, which when I have some more time I will post them.
