warm casserole with autumn fruit

Place the fruit, spices, and seeds in a small casserole dish, mix, and bake in the oven at 175°C for 20 minutes. Rinse the amaranth in a fine sieve. Bring to a boil in about 1 liter of water, turn off the heat, and let it swell with the lid closed for about 15 minutes. Remove the fruit from the oven and mash it lightly with a fork, mix, and smooth it down. Whisk the eggs with the milk, lemon zest, sugar, and amaranth and pour this over the fruit. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes until the crust is lightly browned. The casserole is delicious hot or cold and can be served with custard or ice cream, if desired.
