2 pears
4 figs
2 balls of stem ginger
lemon or lime
2 tsp soft unrefined sugar

50g oatmeal
50g soft butteror dairy-free spread

Peel, core and slice the pears, quarter the figs. Arrange these in an ovenproof dish, squeeze a little lemon juice over.
Finely chop the stem, scatter over the fruits. Sprinkle the sugar on top.
