Ingredients

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).
