Spiced Autumn Fruits with Pan-Fried Brioche

I’ve chosen my favourite fruits for this recipe – including yellow peaches, which I love – but be adventurous as it’s a great way of using up any surplus stone fruits or apples or pears you may have. You can also use vanilla instead of star anise, or even black pepper to substitute for the cinnamon, but use them with care to avoid overpowering the fruit. I like to use Drambuie but you can use whisky instead, if you like.
