This week's Easy Peasy Recipe is berry yogurt parfait.
You will need:
500 g (1 lb 2 oz) fresh berries or 275 g (10 oz) frozen berries
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
500 g (1 lb 2 oz) plain yogurt, preferably low-fat
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup or organic honey
To make:
In a small saucepan, warm the berries, adding a little water as needed to prevent burning.
Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the cloves and cinnamon and continue to simmer until the berries begin to soften, cool slightly.
If the berries produce too much liquid, spoon them into the bowl with a slotted spoon.
Add the yoghurt and vanilla and mix well.
Sweeten to taste with maple syrup.
Serve with granola or porridge for breakfast or enjoy as a light dessert or snack.
