I never thought I would cry over a recipe, but I did. My grandmother passed away in 2001, she left me most of her cooking supplies, and I think of her every time I use her mixing bowls. What she didn't leave was her recipe for a dip she used to make for fruit. Nobody seemed to remember just what the ingredients were. Cream cheese, vanilla, but what else? Well recently my mother in-law gave me a recipe for grape salad. I made it and to my amazement it tasted just like the dip! Cream cheese, vanilla, a little sugar, and SOUR CREAM! My mother and sister tried it and agreed, that was the missing ingredient. We all cried!
Here is the recipe,
Grammy's Fruit Dip
1-8oz block cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
Mix together with electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
To make GRAPE SALAD coat 2lbs. each of red and green grapes with this mixture and refrigerate. A half hour before serving sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped walnuts.
Enjoy!
