So often if it nice to serve a fruit based pudding after a richer main course. This is wonderful in colour and a great change from fruit salad. Blackcurrants work just as well as blackberries. To make extra special, add a tablespoon of Cassis to the puree.
6 pears 350g (12oz) granulated sugar 1.2 litre (2 pints) water A few strips of lemon peel
Blackberry puree 450g (1lb) blackberries 100g (4oz) granulated sugar

Preparing ahead The pears can be poached up to 12 hours ahead and kept in the syrup until serving. Puree can be made up to three days ahead.
