Luxurious leftover cherries were teamed with fresh inexpensive pineapple and baked in orange juice, the brandy and cinnamon.
It was so simple and yet so fabulous, and it's low-carb & sugar.
The recipe easily multiplies according to the number of guests. It's also versatile. The alcohol is optional; berries can replace cherries and the dish at room temperature makes a fine breakfast.
Fresh pineapple obviously needs trimming (see below) but provides plenty of easily frozen leftovers. The cherries in the photo were not stoned because the dish was for adults but if children and older people are at the table, removing the stones is recommended.
Cost per person: under £1
Ingredients per person:
100-125gm fresh pineapple chunks

juice & zest of half an orange
extra water if needed
1 tbsp cherry brandy/liqueur (opt)
1/8 tsp dark muscovado (pref) or other sugar
1/8 tsp dried cinnamon
Topping: strained 0-fat yoghurt (Icelandic or Greek)
few drops vanilla
Method:
- Mix pineapples, cherries, orange zest & brandy
- Pour into a ceramic or glass baking tray which holds the fruit in one layer
- Scatter with sugar & cinnamon
- Add orange juice and just enough water to cover the fruit
- Cover dish with a tight fitting lid or with foil
- Bake at 350F/180c/gas 4 for 30-45 mins or until cooked through
- Serve hot, warm or cold with vanilla-yoghurt
Tips:
- Paper clips make inexpensive cherry stoners: drop the paper clip in boiling water 5 mins, cool, open out the clip so you have two joined halves; poke one end into the cherry to dig out the stone
- fresh pineapple is often found for under a pound; multi-punnets of fruit are usually on offer
- if tinned pineapple is the only option, go for the ones in juice, not syrup; drain before using
