FOR THE FRUIT TOPPING:
1 cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Karo Light Corn Syrup
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1/2 cups Water
1 cup Pureed Strawberries
2 cartons Fresh Strawberries, Sliced
2 pieces Kiwi, Chopped
_____
FOR THE SHORTCAKES:
2 cups Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 dash Salt
4 Tablespoons Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/2 cups Butter, Softened, But Not Melted
3/4 cups Buttermilk
2 Tablespoons Honey
Vanilla Ice Cream Or Whipped Cream For Topping

1
Mix together 1 cup sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch and water in a 2 quart sauce pan, cover and bring to a slow boil.
2
When you reach a boil remove the lid. Add the 1 cup pureed strawberries and boil a few minutes more. Remove from heat and chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes. After the sauce is chilled, pour over the other fruit and toss gently. Return to the refrigerator to continue chilling.
3
Sift the dry ingredients together. Add the buttermilk and butter and mix well into a soft dough. DO NOT over knead - it will become tough.
4
Grease an 8 inch pie pan really well. Gently arrange dough into an even mound and pre-cut into your serving portions before baking.
5
Bake at 400u00b0 for 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean and it's golden brown.
6
Slice each shortcake open, dot with a thin layer of honey, arrange on plate and top with a scoop of the strawberry kiwi glaze and vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
7
*I use the less than pretty berries for the puree.
8
**If you don't have any, the buttermilk can be made by adding 2 tablespoons of vinegar to regular milk.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
