The bright, flavourful sauce is easy to prepare and turns a simple fruit salad into something very special. Serve with calcium enriched soya yogurt.

Caster sugar, to taste
2 peaches
2 nectarines
1 small mango, peeled
2 plums
1 pear or ½ small melon
Juice of 1 lemon
30-55g/1-2oz/2 heaped tbsp wild strawberries (optional)

Serves: 6

Method

In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the large mango until smooth. Add the orange rind, juice and sugar to taste and process again until very smooth. Press through a sieve into a bowl and chill the sauce.

Peel the peaches, if liked, then slice and stone the peaches, nectarines, small mango and plums. Quarter the pear and remove the core and seeds, or, if using, slice the melon thinly and remove the peel.
Place the sliced fruits on a large plate, sprinkle with the lemon juice and chill, covered with clear film, for up to 3 hours before serving. (Some fruits may discolour if cut too far ahead of time.)

To serve, arrange the sliced fruits on individual serving plates, spoon the berries on top, drizzle with a little of the mango sauce and decorate with mint sprigs. Serve the remaining sauce separately.
