Stewed Pears & Gooseberries
I love stewed fruit with plain yoghurt as a breakfast! This is such a delicious combination that I tried and was SO happy with the result.
This really makes a delicious addition to your breakfast repertoire, and is best served with great big dollop of plain yoghurt with a sprinkle of nuts!
Do adjust the sugar and water to your preference, some prefer a bit more of a syrup and others more of a compote.
