Hawaiian Fruit Dip

newspapergal's Note:

This is really flavorful; I have served with pineapple chunks, sliced apples & grapes. I make this with skim milk & low-fat sour cream. I added the food coloring in response to a previous reviewer saying it looked like just vanilla pudding. This is a RecipeZaar account adoptee, from Feb. 2005.

I made this fruit dip for my Hawaiian Luau party. The dip was really great, although I don't think people knew what it was by looking at it. So, not much of it was actually eaten. In the bowl it basically looks like vanilla pudding. Next time, I make it, I think I will print a sign that says, "Hawaiian Fruit Dip". I used the 1/3 less fat sour cream and skim milk. It didn't seem to affect the taste. It was good!
