Summer Fruit Compôte Scented With Lemon Grass

This is unusual and subtle – the scent of the lemon grass is barely there, but it does add a very interesting dimension. Any combination of fruit can be used for this, but remember that the flavour of blackcurrants does tend to dominate – so if you're using them, just use a half quantity compared with the other fruits.
