Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

juice 1⁄2 lemon
4 small eating apples
4 small pears
900g shallot (unpeeled weight)
1 tsp olive oil
50g butter
6 tbsp quince or redcurrant jelly
bay leaf , to decorate

Steps:

  • Put the lemon juice into a large bowl. Peel the apples and pears, leaving the stalks on, then toss in the juice. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Lower in the apples and pears, then cover and poach for 30 mins or until the fruit just gives to a sharp knife. Peel the shallots while you're waiting.
  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Add the oil and butter to a smallish roasting tin, then add the drained apples, pears and the shallots. Brush the fruit with a layer of the jelly or jam and roast for 1 hr until softened and golden. Turn the pears and apples around in the fat a few times during cooking, brushing twice more with the glaze. Serve spooned around the turkey, decorated with bay leaves.
