Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces canned pineapple chunks
- 29 ounces canned peach halves
- 29 ounces canned pear halves
- 10 ounces maraschino cherries
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the pineapple chunks, peach halves, and pear halves, reserving 1/4 cup of the combined juices. Set the fruits aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, curry powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to create a smooth, spiced sauce.
Place the drained pineapple chunks, peach halves, and pear halves into a large, greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Distribute the maraschino cherries evenly among the other fruits for a pop of color.
Pour the prepared curry sauce evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the fruit is warmed through and the sauce is bubbling gently.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. This dish can be served warm as a side or even as a dessert paired with vanilla ice cream.
