Ingredients

175g golden caster sugar

1 vanilla pod , split in two

5 cardamom pods

zest and juice 1 lime

6 apricots , halved and stoned

3 peaches , quartered and stoned

Method

Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 8. Tip the sugar, vanilla pod, cardamom, lime zest and juice into a food processor, then blitz until blended, or mash together using a pestle and mortar. Tip the fruit into a shallow baking dish, then toss in the sludgy sugar.
