I made this recipe this weekend to bring as dessert when I was invited for
dinner, and it was wonderful. SAD and nonSAD people alike love it. It came
from a magazine, but I don't know which one, because I only have the
cutout recipe. Note that this must be prepared several hours in advance or
the night before, to give the flavors time to develop. SEVERAL HOURS
BEFOREHAND, OR THE NIGHT BEFORE:

1. Set aside 46 strawberries, depending on the size. In food processor or
blender, process the remaining strawberries, ginger root, lime peel, and
sugar till smooth.

2. Quarter the reserved strawberries. In a serving bowl, combine the
quartered strawberries with the pineapple chunks. Pour the strawberry sauce
over the mixture, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or
overnight, stirring occasionally. Makes 4 servings, each serving: about 90
calories, 1g fat, 2 mg sodium. Sorry, the magazine did not provide the
sugar grams.

Notes:

1. I tasted the strawberry sauce and then adjusted the amount of lime and
ginger accordingly, using more than called for in the recipe

2. I added chopped kiwis to the pineapple.

3. The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons sugar, which seemed like
way too much to me, so I started with One half tablespoon, which was fine.

4. Before adding the strawberry sauce, I poured 2 tablespoons of vodka and
2 tablespoons of Cassis (black currant liqueur) over the fruit.
