Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup apple-cranberry juice cocktail

2 teaspoons cornstarch

8 ounces vanilla low-fat yogurt

***ASSORTED FRUIT DIPPERS SUCH AS***

Apple slices

pear slices

pineapple chunks

melon balls

kiwi fruit slices

 

Enticing as a appetizer, elegant as dessert. Use this fruity dip as a

sauce over slices of angel food cake or as a filling for cream puffs.

 

In a small saucepan combine apple-cranberry juice cocktail and

cornstarch. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and

bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; cool.

 

Stir the vanilla yogurt into the cooled mixture. Transfer to a serving

bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 24 hours. Serve with

fruit dippers. Makes about ten 2-tablespoon servings (1 1/2 cups).

 

Keep the Color: When certain types of fruit, such as apples, pears,

peaches, or nectarines, are cut and the flesh is exposed to the air, the

fruit's flesh turns brown. But it's easy to avoid this unattractive change

in color. After cutting the fruit, immediately submerge the sliced or cut

fruit in a bowl of water and lemon juice. A tablespoon of lemon juice per

each cup of water will do the trick. Blot the fruit dry with a paper towel

just before arranging the fruit on your serving platter.

 

Preparation time: 20 minutes. Standing time: 1 hour. Chilling time: 2 hours.
