Notes
Can be made a day or 2 ahead of time. Relish can be made a few days ahead of time and mixed a few hours before serving.
You can add more sugar for a sweeter dip. Fresh berries work best, but you can use frozen, although the dip may be a little runny.
For a thinner dip, add a little half and half or milk to thin it out. You can also add a little sour cream for more tang.
