Poached Apples in wine with Orange and Pomegranate

This adaptation of a classic South African recipe has been taken from a recipe book compiled by the Pink Lady apple growers of the Elgin region in the 1980s.

A favourite to make while entertaining, the wonderful combination of flavours and colours make this simple food at its very best.

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

You’ll need:

4 Pink Lady apples

400ml South African white wine

200g caster sugar

zest and juice of 1 orange

4 cloves

1 stick of cinnamon

200ml Greek yoghurt

½ tsp ground cinnamon

50g pomegranate seeds or 1 pomegranate

What to do:

Halve and core the Pink Lady apples, place in a saucepan with the wine, sugar, orange zest and juice and the cloves and cinnamon. Simmer gently until just tender but still holding their shape, for approximately 30 minutes.

Mix together the yoghurt and cinnamon.

Serve warm or cold with the pomegranate seeds scattered over and a spoonful of the yoghurt, sprinkled with a little more cinnamon if desired.
