I add this sauce:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup or more of orange juice …
- Heat starch, sugar, juice until clear and thick

2 navel oranges, sectioned
Grated orange zest
- Add to syrup.

Icing sugar
- Dust

Serve with sauce on top and fried bananas on side. Meat optional.

I think this would be great with Carol's lemon sauce--half and half.

6 servings
This versatile topping is great for cakes, pies, ice cream, and regular or frozen yogurt.

2 cups fresh organic berries (use blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or any combination)
1/2 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot
1/4 cup cold water

1. Wash the berries well. Use small berries such as blueberries or raspberries whole; remove hulls and chop strawberries into approximately 1/2-inch chunks.

2. Combine the berries in a medium-size saucepan with the apple juice. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently until all the berries have softened and burst, about 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Stir slowly into the berry mixture and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Note: there is no sugar, so it won't keep too long in the fridge.
