This recipe may not be a hit with the health-conscious, but we love it when it’s time for a little indulgence. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream or plain yogurt.
4 mangoes (alternatively you could use apples, bananas, pears or fruit in season)
4 tablespoons (50 mL) butter
4 tablespoons (50 mL) soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon (15 mL) ground green cardamom seeds
Peel and core fruit and cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) slices. In a frying pan, heat the butter and sugar, stirring until the sugar is melted, then stir in the ground cardamom seeds. Make a single layer of the fruit, spooning the liquid over the top, and cook until just warmed through. Lift out of the pan into serving dishes, and do a second batch in the pan if necessary.
