- Good zippy flavor to the fruit. It is a healthy alternative to creamy fruit dressings.
- I tested the sauce before adding it and it was so so tart. I added a pinch of sugar and 3 tbl spoons of honey to sweeten it up. It was the first thing to go at the party.
- So I cheated and added strawberries. It didn't need them but it added color. The dressing added a refreshing tang to the salad. Yum!
- Looks good, tastes good, and healthy to boot.
- Yum, yum. This tastes similar to sherbert. I didn't have grapes or honeydew melon so I substituted with cubed Cherlyn melon.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
