Yield: 4 Servings
1 Apricot
1 Peach
4 Strawberries
A few Cape gooseberries
1 Pear
4 Figs
1 Mango
Preserved stem ginger with its syrup
2 Egg yolks
Caster sugar
1 Vanilla pod; cut open
Icing sugar
1 Sprig mint
Heat the grill [= US broiler] on high.
Cut the fruit, removing any stones into equal sized manageable pieces and arrange in a flameproof shallow dish.
Finely chop the pieces of stem ginger and scatter over the fruits. Beat together the egg yolks and caster sugar until light and pale. Add the reserved ginger syrup and beat in well. Blast the fruit under the grill/broiler for a couple of minutes, until bubbling juices appear.
Place the fruits attractively into the centre of the plates, and pour over the sabayon.
Return to the grill for a further 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately. Dust with a little icing sugar and a sprig of mint.
