Ingredients

  • 60 g of caster sugar
  • 3 granny smith apples
  • 3 conference pears, firm
  • 4 red plums, firm
  • 60 g of butter
  • 2 tbsp of orange juice

Method

  • Step 1

    Peel, core, and quarter the apples and pears. Quarter and stone the plums.

  • Step 2

    To make the caramel, heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sugar and orange juice and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil until the mixture starts to turn golden brown.

  • Step 3

    Add the apples and cook gently, stirring, until they start to soften, then add the pears and cook until softened.

  • Step 4

    Add the plums and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until all the fruit is softened, but not falling apart, and is coated in caramel. Serve warm.
