Ingredients
411g can apricots in natural juice, drained and juice reserved
3 strips pared lemon zest
¼ teaspoon ground mixed spice
25g (1oz) caster sugar
3 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
75g (2 ¾ oz) ready to eat prunes, halved
To serve
200g (7oz) virtually fat-free plain fromage frais
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
Method
Pour 150ml (5fl oz) of the reserved apricot juice into a medium saucepan.
Add the lemon zest, mixed spice and caster sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the pears and prunes and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the pears are tender (the exact timing will depend on their ripeness). Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir in the apricots.
Leave the fruit to cool, then chill, covered, until ready to serve.
To serve, top each serving of compote with 50g (1 ¾ oz) fromage frais and half a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds.
Cook’s tip: Use a vegetable peeler to pare the zest from a lemon in long strips. Make sure there is no white pith on the underside, as this gives a bitter flavour.
Try this: If you don’t like dried fruit, leave out the prunes and increase the pears to four. The ProPoints values per serving will be 2.
