Best Brandy Fruit Dip Recipes

MARSHMALLOW CREME FRUIT DIP

Steps:

• Stir cream cheese, marshmallow creme, orange juice concentrate, and nutmeg together in a bowl until completely combined.

CREAM CHEESE FRUIT DIP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for about 3 minutes. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla and beat for an additional minute. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the marshmallow creme. Then fold in the Cool Whip and maraschino cherry juice until everything is thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with fresh fruit.

BRANDIED DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the currants, cranberries, cherries, pears and apricots. Zest the orange and add the zest to the bowl. Add the lemon, ginger, anise seeds, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom.
• Juice the orange and add the liquid to the bowl. Add the brandy and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a jar, cover and refrigerate. (If you don't have a jar that's large enough, keep the mixture in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.) Allow the fruit to sit in the liquid for 2 to 14 days before using. The flavor of the fruit, spices and brandy will improve with time. At least once a day, turn the jar upside-down (or thoroughly stir the mixture if it's in a bowl) to make sure all the dried fruit gets coated in the brandied liquid. The mixture keeps in the refrigerator for months, stored in an airtight container.
