Have made this a number of times, subbing in apples and ginger, pear and cardamom, and lemon instead of lime. Quick, easy and delicious. Yum

I personally think that the lime doesn’t go quite as well than if you were to just use vanilla extract. Nevertheless it still tasted good.

I'm sure this tastes even better with fresh pears, but I'm here to tell you it was absolutely delicious with tinned pears too! In fact, I bet some other fresh or tinned fruits would work just as well. I also used lemon instead of lime as that's what I had. Super simple, and relatively low in sugar - I served it with plain yoghurt, and it was a winner for our whole family, Thanks for the recipe!
