- 4 Tbsps lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Rinse the raspberries and strawberries and pat dry. Hull the strawberries and halve if large. Rinse the pears, cut in half, remove the seeds and cut into thin wedges. Peel the oranges with a sharp knife and cut into segments. Peel the apple and cut into small cubes.
In a saucepan, caramelize the sugar then carefully deglaze the pan with apple juice, cranberry juice and orange juice. Simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and add the fruit and lemon juice.
Mix in the almonds and let cool. Serve warm or cold with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream, if desired.

Healthy, because
The acids and tanning agents from the raspberry support the liver in its detoxification work and can have a fever-reducing effect. The pectin from apples, as a soluble fibre, promotes digestion and is good for the intestines.
Even smarter
For example, honey can be used instead of whole cane sugar. Depending on taste, less added sugar is also possible.
