Strawberry-Orange Mélange

Ingredients

• 4 navel oranges (about 2 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream
• Mint sprigs (optional)

Preparation

1. Peel and section oranges over a bowl, and squeeze membranes to extract juice. Set the sections aside, and reserve 1/4 cup juice. Discard membranes. Chop the orange sections.
2. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a 1-quart glass measure. Stir in the reserved orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, and lemon juice, and stir with a whisk until well-blended. Stir in the chopped oranges. Microwave mixture at high 2 minutes and 45 seconds or until thick, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir in strawberries and extracts. Serve over ice cream. Garnish with mint, if desired.
