This dessert is all fruit and spices, no added sugar yet super sweet and cheerful. A great alternative when taking a break from sweets in this very festive season full of treats.

I am not a big baker but I love roasting fruits to uncover their sweetness and add a few spices et voila a fabulous dessert!

Exotic fruits are in season as where they grow it is summer now, so indulge as much as you want.

TIPS & SWAPS:

you can use any spice you like or swap the ones you dislike. Cinnamon or vanilla can be used to swap.

I always ve some cranberries in the freezer, you can add them frozen to the oven.

You can reheat the pineapple or finish cooking last minute, just pour over the glaze for extra flavour.

Swap pomegranate molasses for regular sugar molasses or honey for extra sweetness.
