Instructions

Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 Place fruit, juice, ginger and jam into a saucepan.

Step 2 Cook over low heat until jam becomes liquid and fruits soften, about 15 minutes.

Step 3 Mix cornflour with 3 tablespoons of jam mixture in a small bowl, to form a paste. Return paste to pan and stir, until mixture thickens. Divide compote between dishes and serve with a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice-cream.

HFG tip

Vary the compote thickness by adding more or less cornflour.
