Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.

2. To make the sauce, combine the tomatoes, chilli flakes, onion, garlic, ginger, nutmeg, pepper and vinegar in a saucepan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring frequently. Simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Add the fruit and cook for a further 10 minutes. Season to taste and stir in the almonds.
