A "Different" Fruit Dip

This recipe comes from my sis in N.C. It is a simple, no-fuss fruit dip that is a little different from all the rest. The taste of this dip is incredible, and everyone who has tried it has loved it. I like to cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces and stick a toothpick into each one, serve the fruit on a platter with the dip in the middle. Perfect summer appetizer!!
