Notes
How To Make This Orange Fruit Dip Recipe Healthier
Before beginning the GAPS diet, I used store-bought, canned, sweetened condensed milk to make Orange Fruit Dip and it is thick and creamy.
Now, however, in an effort to convert recipes to healthier versions without sacrificing taste, I use homemade sweetened condensed milk which can be sweetened with honey, Sucanat or raw sugar. The resulting taste is every bit as yummy!
If using homemade sweetened condensed milk made with honey, the fruit dip will not be as thick but it tastes delicious!
How To Serve This Orange Fruit Dip
To make the pineapple shell, I start with a fresh pineapple and cut off the top. Be sure to save it for decoration - I use it as the center of a second fruit tray.
While you can use a tool like this one, available from my affiliate, pineapple de-corer, I use a long sharp knife. Begin by cutting around the edge of the pineapple leaving a ½ inch of the shell intact.
After I have cut around the edge, I cut a grid in the core of the pineapple down through the meat. Finally, holding the knife at a diagonal, I slice and pull the chunks of pineapple out leaving the shell intact and ready to be filled with Orange Fruit Dip.
Wrap the pineapple shell and top in saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble the fruit tray. You can see in the following photo Orange Fruit Dip made with canned sweetened condensed milk.
