method
1. Squeeze the juice from the lemon; pour half into a dish and the remainder into a small saucepan.
2. Peel the banana and cut in diagonal slices. Stir into the dish containing the lemon juice.
3. Peel the pear or, if you prefer, leave the skin on. Cut it in quarters and remove the core. Cut each quarter into three slices, transfer to the dish and turn to coat in lemon juice - this prevents the fruit from discolouring.
4. Add the ginger, sugar and water to the saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then boil uncovered for 1 - 2 minutes. Pour the syrup over the fruit and leave to cool. Serve cold.
