Servings: 6

1 pt Strawberries, hulled
1 ea Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 x Water
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 T Cornstarch
6 ea Kiwis
3 ea 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).
