Ingredients

Preparation time 15 minutes, cooking 15 minutes

2 oranges
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 pears, peeled, halved and cored
2 apples, peeled, halved and cored
3 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
4 tablespoons heavy cream


Directions

Using a zester or peeler, remove the rind from one orange and set aside. Finely grate 1 teaspoon of rind from the second orange and reserve. With a sharp knife, remove and discard the remaining rind and pith from both oranges, reserving any juices. Slice the fruit thickly.

Melt the butter in a frying pan; add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in the rind from the first orange, the lemon juice, orange slices, pears and apples; cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Place chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave the chocolate on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes (or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water) until melted. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of orange rind, reserved orange juice and cream.

Divide the fruit among 4 serving bowls; spoon the juices over the fruit and drizzle the chocolate sauce over each serving. Makes 4 servings.
