This dip is fashioned after a dip that was originally found at one of the many sauce/jam shops in the south. Being in North Carolina a few weeks ago jogged my memory of how delicious it was. The original was raspberry honey mustard dip, and it was a gift, but I later found myself in a store that sold honey mustard dip mixed with almost every type of fruit.
We experimented with this using pomegranate juice first, and that was actually quite good. I wanted to remake it and happened to have a kitchen full of oranges, so that’s what I used here. The orange juice seemed to have an easier time thickening up than the pomegranate juice, so that was a plus. I also liked having some zest to add.
I took this on a climbing trip recently, and my friend Samantha helped me style the photos and test the recipe. We’re so lucky to have so many volunteers willing to sacrifice for our cause.
