The Best Yam Fries Dip

You may have noticed my recent post about homemade baked yam fries, and in it you will have noticed that I promised to share my yam fries dip recipe as well. Ironically, I perfected this recipe before I perfected the fries themselves—I do so love my dips and sauces! After much fiddling, I have created this sauce, which is tangy and smooth and altogether wonderful paired with homemade yam fries. It would also be a great dip for veggie sticks in general.

Without further ado, enjoy!

I Heart Pimm’s

I was introduced to Pimm’s in the summer of ’09 by my boyfriend, Luke. I’ve been hooked ever since. Pimm’s is a traditionally British drink, their alcoholic answer to Americanized iced tea–I say so because a Pimm’s drink tastes exactly like a long island iced tea mixed with a mojito (delicious!). On a hot summer’s day, nothing satisfies quite like a pitcher of Pimm’s with some friends and a plate of nachos at your favourite pub.

Just a warning, however–Pimm’s is hard to find in British Columbia. I looked for it over and over at my local BC liquor store as they only order it in once in a while. You might have more luck with smaller, more specialty stores who can cater to their customers a bit more carefully. I last bought Pimm’s in Canada at the Brewery Creek Liquor Store at Main St. & 14th Ave., so if you live in the Mt. Pleasant part of Vancouver, you’re in luck! Aussies, no worries–Pimm’s is as close as your nearest Dan Murphy’s.
