Star Fruit With Quick Orange-Raspberry Sauce

4 star fruit (you can substitute 4 regular or Asian pears, or any similar fresh fruit)

Raspberry sauce:
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange juice
Sugar or Splenda to taste

• Slice star fruit widthwise to make slices in the shape of stars (if using pears, cut in quarters, remove core, then cut each quarter into several slices).
• For sauce, add raspberries, orange marmalade, and orange juice to food processor or blender; pulse briefly to blend well. Taste the sauce, and add a pinch or two of Splenda or granulated sugar to desired flavor. Strain mixture to remove the seeds and any orange peel. Refrigerate sauce in covered container until ready to serve.
• Arrange fresh fruit evenly on four dessert plates. Drizzle some of the raspberry-orange sauce over each portion.
