With strawberries, peaches, pears or pineapples, whip up these delicious dishes in just a few minutes . . .
TOPSY-TURVY TREAT: Go retro with a pineapple upside-down cake. You will need sponge ingredients — self-raising flour, butter, sugar and eggs — a tin of pineapple rings, apricot jam and brown sugar.
Both Morrisons and Tesco have recipes for the classic pud on their websites.
TARTS FROM A TIN: You can make easy individual fruit tarts using a sheet of puff pastry and a couple of cans of peaches. Cut the pastry into smaller individual rectangles, scoring a line all the way around, a centimetre in from the edge, but don't cut all the way through.
Brush with whisked egg and then add peach slices into the inner rectangle, adding in a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
Bake in a hot oven for around 25 minutes and serve with whipped cream.
READY IN A TRIFLE: For a tasty trifle, cover the bottom of a serving bowl in trifle sponges or sponge fingers.
Pour over a tin of strawberries, peaches or fruit cocktail.
Leave for half an hour until the sponges soak up the syrup. Spoon over a tin of custard. Finish with a topping of whipped cream or squirty cream.
WHAT A PEAR: Make a delicious pudding in less than ten minutes using two cans of Del Monte pear halves in syrup.
From cheese boards to chocolatey desserts – treats to supercharge your brain and prevent memory blips
Drain the pears, putting the syrup to one side.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Add the pears and leave them to brown, without stirring, for around six minutes. Add the syrup, turn up the heat and cook for three minutes.
Let the pears stand for five minutes and serve with cream, ice cream, pancakes or waffles.
