I know there are some good cooks here.
I used to make a marshmallow sauce to serve with fresh fruit. But I can't
remember what I added to the marshmallow creme to thin it down to make a
sauce or dip.
Anyone else make something like this that can tell me how?
Life gets complicated when your memory is shot.
I want to serve it with fresh fruit as an appetizer Christmas. Fresh
pineapple, strawberries, etc.

Jo something like this
Marshmellow Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp of vanilla
3/4 cup of sugar
2 egg whites
2/3 cup of corn syrup
1/4 cup of light brown sugar
Directions:
Over heat in a pan, dissolve the sugar, vanilla and corn syrup.
Whip the eggs whites until they are stiff.
Slowly add the syrup mixture while the eggs are beating.
Serve with pies and fruit.
Marshmallow:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Hot water, if necessary
Make the Marshmallow Sauce: Combine the 1/4 cup water, corn syrup, and sugar
in a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil and boil to
"soft ball" stage, or about 235 degrees F.
Meanwhile, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the gelatin
over the 2 tablespoons water and let dissolve.
When the syrup reaches 235 degrees F, remove it from the heat, add the
gelatin, and swirl to mix. Pour the syrup into the whipped egg whites while
they are still whipping. Add the vanilla and continue whipping until stiff.
Let sit to cool, then thin with hot water, if necessary.

Fruit Dip
8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Serve with sliced fresh fruit.

Thank you all. I finally found the "easy" way I remembered. You take a jar
of marshmallow creme. Right in the jar with a single beater on a handheld
mixer beat the contents down to make room for the additions. Add half a cup
of mayo, a tsp of vanilla, a couple of tsp of honey and a tablespoon of
orange juice. Continue beating till smooth. Can be stored in the
refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
It tastes right to me. We will see what the family thinks on Thanksgiving.
