Courses: Dessert
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Strawberries - hulled
  Water
1 tablespoon 15mlCornstarch
3   Bananas
1   Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozGranulated sugar
6   Kiwis

Recipe Instructions

Place strawberries in blender with lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Thawed unsweetened 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).
