Preparation Time10 min
Cooking Time5 min
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberry, hulled
- 1 cup orange juice, papaya, or apple-strawberry
- 1 lemon, juiced
- honey, to taste
- 3/4 cup nonfat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Place three-quarters of the strawberries and the cup of fruit juice into a blender and puree.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Dissolve the arrowroot in the lemon juice and pour this mixture into the saucepan as well. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add honey (if you like things really sweet).
- Slice the remaining strawberries and fold them, along with the sour cream, into the slightly cooled mixture.
Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours until well chilled. Serve cold with a teaspoonful of sour cream on top.
