Method

Put the sweetener, ginger, lemon zest and 400ml water into a saucepan and bring to the boil slowly over a medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sweetener, simmer, for 4 minutes, then increase the heat to high and boil rapidly for 3 – 4 minutes or until reduced by half.

Stir in the lemon juice, strain into a heatproof jug, and leave to cool.

Arrange all the fruit onto a serving plate or bowl, then pour over the cooled ginger syrup and stir gently to coat the fruit.

Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving with the cinnamon sprinkled yogurt.
