| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pint | Strawberries, hulled |
| 1 | each | Juice of 1/2 lemon |
| 1 | x | Water |
| ½ | cup | Granulated sugar |
| 1 | tablespoon | Cornstarch |
| 6 | eaches | Kiwis |
| 3 | eaches | Bananas |
Directions
Place strawberries in blender with lemon juice and ¼ cup water.
(Thawed unsweeted strawberries could be substituted). Blend until smooth. Press through fine strainer into medium-sized saucepan.
(Sauce foams as it cooks, so you will need the extra space). Add sugar to mixture; bring to a boil. Lower heat; simmer 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water; stir into mixture 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from heat. Cool and chill. Just before serving, peel kiwis and bananas. Place several tablespoons for strawberry mixture in corner of each dessert plate. Slice 1 kiwi and half a banana into overlapping semicircles around each pool of sauce. (If you have any strawberry mixture left over, it's delicious on ice cream).
