New sauce for fruit salad

  • I just found a new sauce for fruit salads, especially red/soft fruits. The ingredients sound odd but taste delicious. The whole recipe is:

    Serves 2

    225g (8oz) fresh strawberries
    150ml (1/4 pint) fresh orange juice
    2 tablespoons caster sugar (I don't bother with any)
    1 star anise
    1 teaspoon caraway seeds (although it tastes good without them)
    To Sevre
    broken meringues - or whole ones if you prefer
    Low fat natural youghurt

    Hull strawberries and place them in a bowl

    Place OJ, sugar, star anise, caraway seeds in a small ban. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour oer strawberries and allow to cool for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours.

    Divide strawberries between 2 flasses and serve with meringues and low fat yoghurt.

  • Sounds delicious! I've never seen the meringues for sale here, I might try my hand at making them from scratch. Regardless, I love the idea of simmering the OJ with the star anise and caraway seeds for the syrup, I'm going to try that!
