"This is a healthy dessert ideal for using up pears, apples, oranges and lemons that may be left in the fruit bowl. Serve warm as a light dessert with Greek yoghurt, or eat chilled with a bowl of granola for a healthy start to the day. This recipe is also good for children!"

Marvellous recipe for times of glut. I had 2 big bags of Buerre Bosc pears so used them in this recipe. I love the addition of lemon here.
