What is a good recipe for a yogurt-based fruit dip?

A good recipe for a yogurt-based fruit dip calls for 1 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/4 cup fruit preserves and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. The ingredients must be stirred well and chilled for at least one hour before serving.

This basic recipe is easy to customize by adding different types of preserves and substituting other seasonings for the cinnamon. Peach, apricot and strawberry preserves work well. Nutmeg and ginger are possible seasoning substitutes. This dip pairs well with apple slices and whole strawberries.

For a richer yogurt-fruit dip with more protein, mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 2 cups ricotta cheese and a packet of instant vanilla pudding mix. This dip works well with sweet fruit such as fresh pineapple and cantaloupe.
