Strawberry-Pineapple Sundae

Nothing says yummmmm more than a mouth watering sundae.  What makes it even more delightful is when you can serve one up that is not only delicious but, body and heart healthy as well.  It's a dessert you can carry well into the winter months when you have that craving for something sweet and light.

Thanks to our friends at EatingWell.com, we'd like to share it with you.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 8-ounce can pineapple chunks, juice drained
• 1/2 cup strawberry jam, preferably “all-fruit”
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cups nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt
• Mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

Pull green tops off strawberries. Slice the strawberries and put half in a small saucepan. Add pineapple chunks, jam and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are soft, about 5 minutes. Carefully stir in the remaining strawberries (the sauce will be very hot). Set aside to cool.

To serve, spoon most of the sauce into 4 ice cream dishes and top with scoops of frozen yogurt. Spoon the remaining sauce on top. Garnish with mint sprigs if desired.
