Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz canned pineapple slices
- 29 oz canned peach halves
- 29 oz canned pear halves
- 10 pieces maraschino cherries
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the canned pineapple slices, peach halves, and pear halves, reserving about 1/4 cup of the syrup from any of the cans for later use.
Arrange the pineapple slices, peach halves, and pear halves evenly in a large baking dish. Add the maraschino cherries, placing them in the center of the pineapple slices or scattered throughout the dish for a festive touch.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the light brown sugar and curry powder, whisking until combined and smooth.
Stir in the reserved 1/4 cup of fruit syrup into the butter mixture and cook for another minute until the mixture is slightly thickened.
Pour the curry and butter mixture evenly over the arranged fruits in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the fruits are warmed through and the sauce is bubbling lightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.
