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