Sliced pears and plums are simmered with frozen berries to make a wonderful warm fruit salad.

4 medium pear(s), dessert, peeled, cored and sliced
6 medium plum(s), halved
1 medium orange(s), finely grated rind and juice
225 g blueberries, frozen, (8 oz), or forest fruits
1 tablespoon artificial sweetener, powdered, or to taste
6 tablespoon low-fat plain fromage frais
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Put the pears into a saucepan with the plums, half the orange rind, orange juice and frozen berries. Add 3 tbsp cold water.

Heat until almost boiling, then cover and simmer gently until the pears and plums are tender, about 10 - 15 minutes. Add powdered sweetener, to taste. Spoon into 4 serving dishes to cool slightly.

Mix the fromage frais with the vanilla extract and remaining orange rind. Serve each portion of fruit topped with the flavoured fromage frais.

Use frozen summer berries or raspberries if you prefer
