Strawberry Daiquiri Sauce
1/2 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 T granulated sugar
2 t cornstarch
1 1/2 T light rum

1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a saucepan, let sit for 1 minute to soften. Stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Remove

For the sauce
1. Combine berries, lemon zest and sugar in a food processor or blender and puree. Put in a saucepan, adding cornstarch and rum. Whisk cornstarch to remove any lumps.
2. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until mixture thickens.
3. Remove from heat and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
I LOVED this. It felt really light and refreshing (even though I know how much cream was in it!!) I loved the addition of the lemon zest to give it just a touch of that lemony flavor. I have been cooking with alcohol quite a bit lately, and although I don't drink it, I loved the daiquiri spin on the sauce. I had some extra cream left, so I made some extra whipped cream to serve on top, and it was wonderful. I also served it with a bit of fresh lemon zest on top, and aside from looking really yummy, it tasted very yummy!!
