1. To grill fruit, such as pineapple, put fruit on a lightly oiled baking tray and generously sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Heat grill to high and cook fruit for 2min on each side, until caramelised.
2. To bake fruit, such as peaches, put fruit in an ovenproof dish, flesh side up. Dot a little unsalted butter on top of fruit and sprinkle over brown sugar. Bake at 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 for 8-10min, until fruit is soft when tested with a knife.
3. To poach fruit, such as pears. Put peeled pears in a large pan with sugar and enough red wine to cover the fruit. Bring to the boil then turn down and simmer for 30-40min, until tender when the base is tested with a knife.

An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
