Fast Fruit Brûlée

Place the fruit in a saucepan with the caster sugar, then cook over a gentle heat until the juices run (about 3-5 minutes for fresh fruit and up to 15 minutes for frozen – use a small skewer to test if the fruit is tender).

Then drain off the excess juice and reserve it. Tip the fruit into a baking dish, about 18cm square, and stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved juice, then leave it to cool.

Pre-heat the grill for 10 minutes at its highest setting. Spread the yoghurt over to cover the fruit completely, sprinkle the demerara sugar all over and place under the grill (7.5cm from the heat) for 4-5 minutes or until the sugar has melted and it is brown and bubbling. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Pre-heat the grill to its highest setting for 10 minutes. Place the frozen fruit in a shallow, heatproof dish, about 18cm square, drizzle over the rum, then sprinkle with sugar. Grill for about 10-15 minutes or until the sugar has melted and caramelised and the fruit is tender.
