Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pears and plums.
Add the lemon juice to the fruit and gently toss to coat. This will help to keep the fruit fresh and prevent browning.
Stir in the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup if desired. Make sure everything is well mixed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb moisture and create a delightful texture.
Once ready to serve, redistribute the fruit gently, and spoon it into individual serving bowls.
Top with fresh mint leaves if desired, and enjoy chilled!
