Steaming fruit

Who grew up with stewed fruit for dessert?
A healthier option is to steam them and drop the sugar - most fruit is after all sweet enough.
​
Steamed sugar-free fruit is a fantastic evening dessert served hot or cold and if made in bulk can be a healthy addition to your breakfast to naturally sweeten cereal. 

Favorite combinations:

• Apricots & apple
• Apple & raspberries (only a small portion of raspberries needed)
• Feijoa & Apple

​
Method
Add chopped fruit to a saucepan with just a little water (about 2 tbsp).  Heat gently and the initial steam from the water will release the juices from the fruit. Gently simmer so they're heated through and to the texture you prefer.  

Serving Options
Add a dollop of greek yoghurt if serving cold.
Warm or hot you can add a little icecream
Make it like a fruit crumble by adding a sprinkle of toasted muesli. ​
