Fresh Fruit with Cinnamon-Vanilla Sauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cinnamon sticks
1 can (12 fl. oz.) Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 cups assorted fresh fruit (apples, bananas, grapes, mangoes, papayas, peaches, and/or strawberries)
Ground cinnamon (optional)
Combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon sticks in medium saucepan. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes just to a boil and slightly thickens. Remove from heat and remove cinnamon sticks; stir in vanilla extract. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until well-chilled.
Arrange fruit in dessert dishes. Top with sauce. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Tip: Refrigerate leftover sauce in covered container for up to 3 to 4 days.
