Serving suggestion

Serve with a poached tamarillo and low-fat plain yoghurt.

HFG tip

To poach tamarillos, simply mark a cross in the base of the fruit and place in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water from the kettle. Leave for a minute. Drain away liquid and peel off the skin. Leave stalk intact. In a small saucepan place 3 tablespoons sugar in 1/2 cup water. Bring to the boil, add tamarillos and simmer for 5 minutes.
