Wash the fruit and cut the strawberries into large pieces.
Put two thirds of the fruit in a pot with the sugar and lemon juice.
Cook the mixture for 5 minutes until the fruit releases its juice.
Dissolve the cornstarch in water and add it to the pot.
Cook the dessert for 3 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
Add the remaining fruit and remove from the heat.
Divide into bowls and chill for 2 hours.
Serve with cream.
💡 Tip: Add some of the fruit at the very end; this leaves both sauce and whole fruit texture in the dessert.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chilled rote grutze with cream drizzled over the top.
