Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the pears in a saucepan with the sugar and 4 tbsp water. Cook over a gentle heat for 5 mins, until the pears are just tender. Remove from the heat and stir in the mangoes and stem ginger. Spoon the mixture into a not-too-deep 1.75 litre baking dish and leave to go cold.

  • step 2

    Make the topping. Rub the butter into the flour, stir in the sugar and pecan nuts. Sprinkle it all over the fruit freeze, or bake for 30 mins until browned.
