What's your favourite, cheapest home-made meal?

I like to visit the local fruit market towards packing up time and buy the fruit that is in big bundles - things like 4 big mangos for £1, big bags of apples / pears / plums or whatever is in season. Bruised fruit is also good as you will cook it straight away.

Take it home, clean it, boil it up in a big pot until everything softens - sweeten to taste and this is great to freeze in batches for later and use either as a topping or as a dessert on its own. Full of fibre, vitamins and natural sugars.

I like to add Greek yogurt - having this as a biggish dessert means I only bother with a starter beforehand.

Gosh, wish I lived there. Mangoes are always expensive here.
