Baked Fruit Salad - simple and delicious
Slow roasting fruit really brings out their natural sweetness. Add in some spices like cinnamon and ginger you’ve got a really tasty treat. Slow roasted fruit with a dollop of fat free greek yoghurt and nuts for added crunchiness is a lovely sweet treat.
This recipe is really similar but for this you stew the fruit in wine, sugar and spices, with a little salty butter. It’s a great way to use up fruit and leftover white wine. And it’s a super simple and delicious dessert.
The recipe here uses apples and bananas but it works very well for any combination of bananas and some pome or stone fruit. The ingredients and quantities below are just a guideline. You simply chop up the fruit, place in an oven dish, pour over enough wine to nearly cover the fruit, sprinkle over some sugar and spice, dot with salty butter, and bake in the oven until wine has reduced to a thick syrup and the fruit is nicely roasted.
