Banana-Strawberry Delight


By Mary McDougall

A delicious, thick, pudding-like dessert that is even better made with fresh strawberries when they are available. Use about 2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries in place of the frozen ones.

4  Ripe bananas, cut up
1 1/2 Tbsp  Lemon juice
16 Ounce Package  Frozen, unsweetened strawberries, thawed
2 Cups  Water
1/2 Cup  Quick-cooking tapioca

 

Directions

Place bananas and lemon juice in blender jar. Blend until smooth. Place banana mixture in saucepan. Add the thawed strawberries and their juice. Add water and tapioca. Mix well. Let stand 5 minutes. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Let stand for 20 minutes. Then stir and spoon into dessert cups. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
