Hi Leanne, we here just love dips. Two that seem popular with visitors are Fay's Capsicum sauce which you pour over a tub of cream cheese, and Maggie's Artichoke Dip.
Capsicum sauce.
1 small tin Capsicum
1/4 cup of vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Place all ingredients into T.M bowl and cook until syrupy. Probably 10 mins. at 100 .
Pour over a 250g tub of Philly cheese or similar.
This provides a sweet/sour combination which goes well with the cheese, it also is very easy. I've tried it with fresh capsicum but it is not as good.
Maggie's (Beer) Artichoke, green olive and lemon dip.
Warning- this looks like green sludge but is absolutely delicious .

2 tinned or bottled artichikes
1 tablespoon preserved lemon ( skin only) washed and rinsed well
