2 cups fresh fruit (sliced berries, sliced peaches, melon chunks, etc.)
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (8 oz) Mascarpone Cheese, softened
Additional assorted fruit cut into slices: cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapple, apples, berries or other desired local ingredients

In food processor or blender, pulse together 2 cups fruit and honey, until coarsely chopped. Add yogurt and extracts; pulse until desired consistency. Stir in Mascarpone. Serve with additional sliced fruit for dipping. Store leftover dip in airtight container up to 3 days in refrigerator.
