Fruit Dip and Paint

  Recently a fun social evening found several members of our P.E.O. chapter painting and eating - two favorite activities. In spite of claims that we were not artistic, each produced a lovely acrylic painting on canvas of "Happy Flowers". We were Happy Friends that night (maybe the wine helped with that and with our artistic endeavors). Fruit with dip, crackers and cheese, and a few other munchies with lots of visiting make the evening complete.
The dip was as easy to make as the painting! And (hurray!) I had all the ingredients, all 3 of them! My web search brought me to Iowa Girl Eats food blog, and this claimed to be the "best fruit dip ever" from an 'antique' cookbook of the early 1980's

Best-Fruit-Dip-Ever

7 oz jar of marshmallow creme
8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese
2 Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate

Microwave the marshmallow creme until it is smooth. Soften cream cheese to room temperature and add to marshmallow creme. Drizzle in thawed orange juice concentrate. Whisk until smooth. Have lots of fruit ready to dip because you'll want to eat this by the spoonful! Remember, the fruit is the healthy part of this snack.
