What a way to start the day! Delicious, seasonal fruit baked in a sweet and warmly spiced glaze. Serve on its own or over yogurt or porridge.

Or you could even serve it over ice cream with a drizzle of brandy!!

Serves 4 or 8 if served over porridge.

1 sliced apple
1 pear sliced
1 persimmon
250g fresh cranberries
1 tin pineapple chunks (save the juice)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tbsp maple syrup, agave, or honey
1 tsp cinnamon (extra for topping)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Low calorie cooking spray to oil the dish
25g pecans (optional)
Extra cinnamon and pomegranate arils to serve

Preheat oven to 150°C and spray a baking dish with low calorie cooking spray.

Mix all the prepared fruit in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice; set aside.

In a small saucepan melt the coconut oil and mix in the maple syrup or honey and the spices.

Pour most of the warmed coconut oil mix over the fruit and mix to coat everything.

Extra step if you’re using pecans. Add the pecans to the last bit of coconut mix and toss to coat then add to the fruit.

Add the fruit to your baking dish and bake for 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and add the pomegranate arils over the top.

Serve hot or cold over; porridge, yogurt, ice cream, with custard or on its own with a sprinkling of cinnamon over the top.
