Kiwi In Strawberry Sauce
This simple-to-prepare Strawberry Sauce is especially great using the first fresh berries of the season. In addition to kiwis, I like to use it on other fruits like pineapple, sliced peaches, or pears as well as on crepes, pancakes, and hot cereal. Make this as a snack for yourself or multiply the recipe to serve your family or friends at brunch this weekend.
¼ cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon honey
Dash of ground nutmeg
Sprigs of fresh mint for garnish
