Many people get the mistaken idea that puddings have to be unhealthy or horrid – not true. There are lots of perfectly healthy and delicious pudds around. I like this dish served with thick yoghurt or maybe a small spoonful of good Vanilla Ice Cream.

4 firm pears, peeled but leave the stalks if possible
8 ozs (200 gms) fresh or frozen mixed berries such as Blackcurrant, Blue Berry, Blackberry, Raspberry, Redcurrant
2 ozs (50 gms) light muscovado (soft brown) sugar
4 fl ozs (100 ml) Water – you may need a little more

Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring slowly to the boil.

Cover, turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the pears are just soft. Turn once or twice during cooking.

Remove the pears and place in individual dishes

Increase the heat and reduce the fruit sauce by about 25%. Pass through a sieve to remove skins and pips if you wish. Pour over the Pears and serve hot or cold with Yoghurt or Ice Cream (or both!)
