Title: Sliced Kiwi & Banana with Strawberry Puree
Categories: Fruit
Yield: 6 Servings
| 1 | pt | Strawberries, hulled |
| 1 | | Juice of 1/2 lemon |
| | | Water |
| 1/2 | c | Granulated sugar |
| 1 | tb | Cornstarch |
| 6 | | Kiwis |
| 3 | | Bananas |
Place strawberries in blender with lemon juice and 1/4 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).
