Step 1

Put the sugar into a pan and add the water or fruit juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add the ginger and cubebs to the sugar syrup. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 10 minutes or until reduced and syrupy, then chill.

Step 3

Peel, core, de-seed and roughly dice the fruits. Divide into 4 bowls, scatter with the coconut shavings and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle the syrup over the fruit and serve with a dollop of ice cream.
