Poached Autumn Fruits

"Light and full of wonderful complex flavours, this dish was a hit on a regional TV cooking show I used to appear on here in OZ some years ago. You can use any ripe local fruits that are available to make this dish more relavent to your particular area. The addition of cinnamon sticks to the heated wine adds a magic touch on those cooler evenings."

  • Sprinkle brown sugar all over.
  • Add dollops of butter, and splash well with white wine of your choice.
