Notes

Variations:
  • Vary the flavours by using orange juice in place of lime juice. Or, why not try a vanilla pod or cinnamon stick instead?
  • Add 2 peeled and chopped Bramley apples and make an apple and rhubarb compote.
  • If you like your stewed fruit on the tart side, half the amount of sugar used.
