STRAWBERRY FRUIT DRESSING AND DIP by NancyC
Makes about 3 cups

1 cup cottage cheese
1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese, regular or light (to make mixture thicker, add an additional 2 to 4 ounces of cream cheese)
1 cup strawberries, cut into chunks
1 cup strawberry jam, preserves, or fruit spread

Add the cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, chunks of strawberries, and strawberry jam together in a blender or food processor and blend well (the mixture is on the thick side initially, so you may have to help stir it along with a long-handled spoon several times if using a blender).

Keep fruit dip refrigerated until ready to serve—it’s best if you can make it the evening ahead and refrigerate it overnight. You can serve the dip in a small bowl with a large platter of fruit or serve the fruit and dip together in individual small bowls, cups, or on plates, with the dip drizzled over the fruit.

NOTES: You can soften the cream cheese more quickly or make it extra soft by heating it in the microwave in a small microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 50 seconds, depending on how much it is already softened.

You can also substitute another kind of fruit and fruit jam for the strawberries—you could use blueberries with blueberry jam, pineapples with pineapple preserves, raspberries with raspberry jam, etc. Use whatever fruit you like best. You can use either fresh fruit or drained fruit from a can. I prefer using fresh fruit, but either works!
