Re: Cooking fruit not recommended
Julie darlin' - stewed plums!!! - place plums in saucepan with small quantity of water, add 2 oz caster sugar and heat (NB heat, DO NOT boil, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Slice in halves and (Gently) remove stones. Place in a shallow oven tray - make sponge mixture and pour over plums. Decorate with some almond flakes - place in oven and cook until sponge is done (when a knife inserted in it is removed 'clean') - Voila - plum sponge pudding - delicious with custard!!!This recipe can be used for various fruits - apples and pears immediately spring to mind.

Re: Cooking fruit not recommended
Thread title should perhaps have been "Cooking Melon Not Recommended".Cooking fruits is a great way to eat fruit as some have highlighted. Stewing fruit to make compotes is something I do regularly, particularly plums and apricots. Delicious with yoghurt and granola sprinkled on top.
I's sorry to hear about your allergy Julie. Since I ferment vegetables to make things like Saurkraut which is ultra nutritious, I'm wondering if you would be able to eat fermented fruits. In general, fermentation of foods is the most natural and nutritious way to eat them. You would need to research this. I'm wondering if the fermentation process would break down the proteins that trigger your allergy. If so you will have a great new way to eat fruit and a very healthy one to boot !
