The ingredients in this Raspberry Dip might seem like an unlikely match, but it makes an unbelievably delicious snack or appetizer! Mayo and raspberry preserves come together to make a savory dip. This is a creamy dip with chopped pecans as the secret ingredient! It’s an ideal dish to bring to any kind of gathering!
I want to give a shout-out to my stepmom’s friend Mary who provided me with this wonderful recipe. I made this dip for Sammy’s birthday party last week and it was a total hit. As you read through the ingredients, you will likely say, WHAAA?! like I did at first, but trust me! This is insanely delicious and it is a crowd-pleaser! Thank you, Mary, for the delicious dip recipe!

I love Family Days! With Dan working so much in the summer, we have limited days together as a family and we really try to make the most of the time we have together. This morning we took our boys to the Minnesota Zoo and we all had a great time. Sammy is still recovering from a sickness, but he did well, considering. Elijah thoroughly enjoyed himself and could have spent the entire day running around.
I am so thrilled to not be working full-time this summer so that I can do a ton of fun things with my boys while they are still so little and sweet and wanting to spend time with me. I hope the wanting-to-spend-time-with-Mama lasts for a few more years.
Serve this Raspberry Dip with Ritz crackers, for optimal yumminess. Your guests will love you and thank you and swoon over this dip. Ready yourself to deliver the recipe to many.

it is also good with strawberry preserves. my aunt made this one time and made me try it before she told me what was in it. it is delicious!!!
This sounds different, and weird, and amazing all at the same time! I have to try!
one of the best things about your blog, besides the killer recipes, is that there is a PRINTABLE Recipe. THANKS and keep on posting!
Does it matter, mayo or Miracle Whip?
Best if you use Palmers seedless raspberry
Exactly as you said, I was a little unsure, but with good reviews, I had to try it…and it looks so festive! My family loved it, and I was told I can and should make it again. THANKS!
Megan every year I make this recipe. My family loves it and it looks festive and just like Christmas. Everyone loves it! Merry Christmas!!
I’m so glad to read this, Ronda! I love this recipe, too. It’s such a festive, delicious little holiday treat. Glad you enjoy it! Merry Christmas to you!

I made this last night for a Christmas party. My family loved it. I used the seedless jam, but that’s the only thing I changed. Thanks for a great recipe!
Hi Ginger! I’m so glad your family loved this dip! Yay! Merry Christmas!

I wonder if anyone has made this with sour cream or maybe 1/2 C sour cream, 1/2C mayo or possibly cream cheese? I’m having a hard time getting past the 1 cup of mayonnaise. Seems like it would be overpowering and taste too much like mayonnaise.
Hi, I can understand that it seems like a lot. It turns out great, I promise! But I haven’t experimented with your suggestions, but I’d love to hear how they turn out if you do. You could substitute greek plain yogurt, that would be my suggestion. Make sure to let us know how it turns out!
I have done this before and decorated it with fresh raspberries. Delicious!
You can’t go wrong with fresh raspberries!
I make the same recipe but instead of the raspberry jam, which I think may be a little too sweet, I spread a jar of red pepper jelly on top. It is absolutely amazing! It is sweet with a little heat. It will blow your mind!
Sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
The jam is actually delicious with it! Perfect combo of sweet & savory!
Agreed. Thank you for commenting!
What a fun idea! I’ve never thought to make raspberry dip before. My kids are going to love this!
I’m so glad – hope you love it like we do! Make sure to come back and let me know!
I’ve had this dip before and it is delish. I wanted it to be moldable so I used approx 2-3 Oz. of softened cream cheese and 2/3 cup mayo instead of the full cup of mayo. I mixed everything else as directed. I lined an oval container with plastic wrap.and packed mixture inside. I refrigerated well and then turned onto an attractive plate. Topped with raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, and finely sliced green onion.
I love that! Thank you so much for sharing those tips. I’m sure that someone else would love to use that tweak.
