Brilliant for breakfast with a bit of yogurt (or maybe combined with some of yesterday's granola), a lunchtime snack or quick dessert. This is another one of those recipes you can tweak to your liking. But try and use seasonal ingredients since they'll give better flavour. Apples, pears and cranberries caught my eye at the market this week. The perfect combination of flavour and colour to make for deliciously poached fruit.
Poached Fruit
400g water
200g sugar
1 orange, juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
3-4 whole cloves
8 cardamom pods, crushed
1tbsp vanilla syrup
3 pears
2 apples
200g cranberries
In a large saucepan, bring your water, sugar and orange juice to a boil. Add in your spices and cranberries and cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, peel, core and slice your apples and pears, then add to your pot and cook for 10-15 minutes until softened but still slightly firm. Remove your fruit (set aside to cool) and reduce your liquid to half it's volume until slightly thickened and syrupy. Leave to cool and mix both the fruit and syrup together. Refrigerate and consume within 4-5 days.
