Description A delicious baked orchard fruits compote with Manuka honey and vanilla - this is fabulous when served warm or cold, with yoghurt, cream or crème fraîche. The cooked fruit is also wonderful for a cheat's crumble - simple spoon fruit into a bowl and scatter granola or muesli over the top. I also love this when served for a healthy breakfast with yoghurt and cereals.

Ingredients

Imperial | Metric | USA

Converted from metric

  • 2 pears (cut into quarters and cored)
  • 2 apples (cut into quarters and cored)
  • 12 plums (halved and stoned)
  • 2 quinces (peeled, cored and cut into thin slices)
  • 1 juice lemon
  • 2 vanilla pods (cut into halves)
  • 6 tablespoons honey (I used New Zealand Manuka honey)
  • water

Directions

Step 1

Heat oven to 220°C / 425°F / Gas Mark 7 fan assisted or 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.

Step 2

Place the prepared fruit in a large oven-proof roasting tray or gratin dish. Spoon the honey over the top of the fruit and then place the vanilla pod strips in and amongst the fruit.

Step 3

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water and roast in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 mins or until the fruits have softened, but not collapsed and the fruit juices and honey have made a sauce.

Step 4

Serve with yoghurt, cream or crème fraîche or use to make a simple crumble with granola scattered over the top. (Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.)
