  2. Roast for 20 mins until the fruits have softened, but not collapsed and the sugar and fruit juices have made a sticky sauce. Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    This was a real hit. We made it over and over again during the summer months using a variation of stone fruits depending on what was ripe at our local farm shop. The cardamom pods add an extra dimension and kept our guests guessing. We served it to our guests who claims he 'hates puddings' and he loved it!

    This is a really tasty desert and is also great cold. I found it a little too sweet so I reduced the sugar and it still tasted great.

    I loved this pudding and it was sooo easy! Really tasty and great for an informal dinner party. We had nectarines and various coloured plums, and served it with vanilla ice-cream. Would also be nice with Mascarpone too...yum!

    Devine. it smells amazing when its cooking. we took it out after 16 minutes and it was perfect. indeed, perhaps better for a desert recipe than breakfast, but this is our first time making it. and we're not complaining. Might throw in a dash of cinnamon next time and try a pear in the mix - topped with blueberries.

    Made this with peaches and 100g of sugar. Stirred in 100g blueberries for the last 5 minutes. Forgot to add the vanilla pod, but still truly delicious. Really fantastic.

    Gorgeous recipe! The smell is heavenly. I made it this summer and forgot to rate it, which it really deserves. I left out the apricots and used more nectarines, served with a little vanilla ice cream.

    Delicious with creme fraiche too, and I ate a huge portion for dessert rather than breakfast - it was fabulously sharp, spicy and sweet at the same time!

    We run a B&B and the roasted stone fruits always gets high praise. We even converted one person who never had that kind of stuff for breakfast, it became a firm favourite. Absolutely delicious and so easy to make.

    Lovely, lovely, lovely. I made this for a pudding with Greek yoghurt and then tried it for breakfast the next day with fat free plain yoghurt. I used honey instead of sugar but still loved it. Will try with different fruits.

    Love this recipe! Made so many times with different fruits. So easy to make and so delicious! A must-try before the stone fruits out of season.

    Made this for brunch served with low fat greek yogurt. Got to say, I was very indifferent to it. Would rather have just had the fruit chopped up alone without all the syrup. I just didn't feel the sugar etc added much. Having said that, my family loved it and thought it would be great with ice cream or fresh cream. My mum also thought it could benefit from some melted butter drizzled over it before roasting. You can tell I have a healthy family! ;-)
