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.
