The strawberries can be replaced by other fruits. Stone fruits such as cherry, nectarine, peach or apricot are especially good. Toppings of complementary fruits can also be added.

Ingredients

• 1 quart ripe strawberries (they really need to be ripe and sweet)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• ½ cup water
• 1 ½ tablespoon arrowroot or corn starch
• Juice of one lime (Optional)

Optional Toppings

• Sprinkle of sugar
• Whipped cream
• Heavy cream
• Sugared fruit pieces
• Greek yogurt

Instructions

1. Wash and hull berries. Cut into halves or quarters. Sprinkle with sugar and mash gently to combine. Allow to stand 15 minutes.
2. Add arrowroot or cornstarch to water and mix well. Then, add to berry mixture.
3. Add berry mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until mixture comes to a boil. Then, simmer 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes transparent. Remove from heat and add lime juice, if using. Mix well.
4. Pour pudding into serving dishes and chill until set. Top as desired.
