Fruit Salad

This is a great way to eat a good variety of fruit, in or out of season, because the sauce makes it all taste great!

What You'll Need
Sauce:
1 c cold water (or pineapple juice)
2 tbs corn starch
1 tbs butter
1 lemon
1 c sugar

What To Do
Combine the corn starch and water in a small sauce pan and cook until very thick
Add the remaining ingredients and cook slightly (until butter and sugar are dissolved)
Cool completely
Pour over fruit

Please Note
This recipe makes a VERY LARGE fruit salad. To use all of the sauce you probably want 10-12 cups of sliced and diced fruits. You want it to be bite-sized so that a few pieces fit on a spoon and you can mix up all the fruit flavors. I usually just make half of a recipe. The sauce keeps OK for a couple of days, so you can have it a few times.

It is especially good with some watermelon as a main base, but that isn't necessary. I usually use watermelon, a can of pineapple, an apple, a banana, grapes (cut in half), and a handful of strawberries. You can mix and match whatever fruits you want! Canned or not. Other good ones are oranges, pears, peaches, plums, cantelope...you get the picture. Whatever's cheap and in season! Or canned fruit works great too and is usually easier.
