Sponge Topping

This week, I'm on holiday and I'm loving it

Doing nothing, nothing and nothing

Bliss

It was around 9.30pm last night and Mr JJ turns to me and says 

" whats for dinner ? "

To which my response was 

" well I'm on holiday, what do you want to make yourself ? " 

:-p

I went off to the kitchen to think what was the most basic thing I know how to make and is delicious so much so, that husband won't care what it is

I decided to make Sponge Topping on fruit, so naughty...

So I whipped up a batch

Out came the pears I'd preserved 

( I even have a whole preserving cupboard ! )

then put I the pears into little bowl things, 

I know they have a name but do you think I can recall what it is ??
