What Makes Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip Recipe So Good?
Shh… want to know the secret to make fresh fruit taste even better? A dollop of fruit dip from Jason’s Deli!
This crave-worthy dip, made with brown sugar-sweetened tangy sour cream and just a hint of orange flavor, will turn any fruit in your fridge into a delicious dessert that even your kids will want to devour.
Why You Should Try This Recipe
With only three ingredients, this recipe for Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip is one of the simplest ones you’ll find online.
Unlike similar fruit dips, this version doesn’t include whipped topping, cream cheese, or Grand Marnier liqueur but calls for a few drops of orange extract. These small changes make a world of difference and give this recipe its unique taste.
Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need:
- Sour cream
- Light brown sugar, as fine as possible
- Orange extract
For the best results, buzz the brown sugar in a food processor to turn it into powder before using it in the recipe. The finer the brown sugar, the less gritty the dip will feel on your tongue.
How to Make Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip
To prepare the fruit dip:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir or whisk well until all the brown sugar dissolves.
- Cover and chill for at least an hour.
- Re-stir the fruit dip right before serving.
What Type of Fruit Can You Serve With This?
A little of this fruit dip will improve just about any fruit. Apple slices, pear slices, grapes, pineapple chunks, melon chunks, fresh strawberries, and segments of oranges are easy to hold and dip. Dipping smaller fruits and berries can get a little messy.
A good solution is to make a fruit kebab with blueberries, raspberries, seedless grapes, chunks of melon, and strawberries.Or you can make a fresh fruit bowl and drizzle the dip over the top.
What Else Can You Serve With a Fruit Tray and Dip?
Putting out a fruit tray at your next get-together is the perfect way to encourage smart snacking subtly. But don’t worry about ending up with leftovers. Guests will gobble everything up when Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip is on the fruit tray.
Don’t forget to fill the fruit tray with a few other snacks like nuts, pretzels, crackers, and cheese for a little variety.
You can use this creamy concoction for so much more than just dipping! Here are just a few other serving ideas:
- Add a dollop of the Fruit Dip on top of blintzes, pancakes, and fruit or nut pies.
- Spread it on lady fingers or pre-cooked tart shells and top with your favorite berries.
- Try using Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip instead of yogurt in a fruit and granola parfait for a real treat!
How to Store Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip Recipe
Once you serve the dip, you discard any leftovers, but you can keep unserved Fruit Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is not a good idea to try to freeze this recipe.
How Long Will the Recipe for Jason’s Deli Fruit Dip Last
You can keep this dip for up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.

FYI – the fruit dip from the 90’s recipe had grand marnier in it.

I just went to Jason’s Deli the other day after about 5 years because the location near me had closed. The fruit dip brought back so many memories and I love it so much I wanted to know exactly how to make it at home. And this is spot on!Reply
