Servings:
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen fruit
- 2 cups juice, see hints below
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Ice cream - flavor of your choice - enough for 4 servings
Instructions:
- Put frozen fruit into saucepan. Cover with juice.
- Bring to simmer. Simmer until fruit is thawed and hot. Occasionally stir gently.
- Mix cornstarch with a little water. Slowly stir just enough into simmering fruit until it is the proper consistency - like a sauce.
- Add a little lemon juice and/or sugar if needed.
- Serve hot over ice cream.
Notes/Hints:
- Instead of a totally frozen fruit dessert, use a 28 ounce can of sliced peaches with its juice, ⅓ can frozen peach concentrate (to increase peach flavor), 1 cup frozen raspberries and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Delicious and pretty.
- A strong flavored juice is preferable. Choose one that will complement the fruit. If the resulting sauce needs a bit more flavor, add some lemon juice and sweeten with sugar.
- The leftovers, heated in the microwave, tasted delicous.
