Lemongrass And Mango Breakfast Compote (Tropical Sun)

Simmering mango and pineapple in a strong brew of Tropical Sun Lemongrass turns out a fresh, citrussy breakfast compote: the lemongrass cuts the sweetness of the tropical fruit and a squeeze of lime keeps it lively. Spoon it warm or cold over yoghurt, porridge or granola.

  6. It keeps for up to 4 days in the fridge; reheat with a splash of water, or spoon cold over yoghurt.
