Sarasota's Easy Fruit Sauce With a Kick
- 2 -2 12 cups strawberries, fresh, rough chopped (frozen will also work, but please thaw)
- 2 cups mangoes, fresh rough chopped (same thing, frozen is ok, but please thaw first)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (I use light brown)
- 1 tablespoon rum (golden rum)
- honey, to taste (approximately 1 teaspoon)
- 18 cup water
- 1 pinch salt
- Fruit -- Now this is a basic NO recipe -- recipe.
- It can be made with more or less strawberries or mango and even pineapple.
- About 4 cups (more or less fruit is what you need).
- Fresh peaches, blueberries, cherries - all fresh fruit works for this.
- Keep the sugar the same, but more or less honey depending on how sweet you like it.
- It really depends on the sweetness of your fruit.
- Also, rum, I like golden rum, but if you don't want alcohol -- use an extract or even use almond extract, that is a nice flavor.
- I happen to like rum in mine.
- Just add everything but the rum (or extract) in a small pot and simmer on medium low for about 15 minutes (uncovered).
- Then add the rum or extract and cook another 5 minutes.
- Done!
- The fruit will be broken down and you can even mash it up a bit more if you want with a fork or a potato masher.
- It just depends how you like it as far as the texture goes.
- I like mine a bit chunky.
- Serve -- Pour over cheese blintzes, waffles, pancakes, great with monte cristo sandwiches, over ice cream, and french toast.
- Easy to make ahead and then just reheat in the microwave.
- ENJOY!
