Ingredients
- 4 pears, skin on, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon mixed spice
- 500ml boiling water
- 20g pecans, chopped
Method
- Put the pear pieces into a medium-sized saucepan and add the ground ginger, ground cinnamon, mixed spice and boiling water. Make sure that the pears are covered with water. You may need to add more water if your saucepan is large.
- Bring to the boil on a high heat.
- Turn the heat down slightly and simmer for 15 minutes or until the pear pieces are tender.
- Once cooked, remove the pears from the water with a slotted spoon.
- Place into a bowl and sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
- Serve immediately.
Top tip: this recipe also works well with apples. You may need to cook the apples for slightly longer until they are tender. You can also use tinned pears in juice. Tinned pears may need less cooking time. Serve with a spoonful of low-fat Greek yoghurt.
