Instructions: Using a zester or peeler, remove the rind from one orange and set aside.

Finely grate 1 teaspoon of rind from the second orange and reserve. With a sharp knife, remove and discard the remaining rind and pith from both oranges, reserving any juices. Slice the fruit thickly.

Melt the butter in a frying pan; add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in the rind from the first orange, the lemon juice, orange slices, pears and apples; cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Place chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave the chocolate on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes (or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water)

until melted. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of orange rind, reserved orange juice and cream. Divide the fruit among 4 serving bowls; spoon the juices over the fruit and drizzle the chocolate sauce over each serving.

Makes 4 servings.
