Ingredients

zest and juice 1 lime
2 tbsp clear honey
2 pinches ground cinnamon
few gratings whole nutmeg
2 tsp icing sugar sifted
200g very low-fat fromage frais
2 tsp butter
1 fresh pineapple cut into 8 long wedges, skin and core removed

Method

Combine the lime juice and half the zest with 1 tbsp honey, a pinch of cinnamon and the nutmeg to create a sauce, then set it aside. Mix the icing sugar and a pinch of cinnamon into the fromage frais.
Melt the butter and remaining honey in a non-stick frying pan. Cook the pineapple wedges for 8 mins, turning often until caramelised. Add the reserved spiced lime sauce and let it bubble for a few secs, tossing the fruit to coat.
Plate the glazed pineapple straight away, scattering over the leftover lime zest. Serve with a spoonful of the cinnamon fromage frais on the side.
