Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces canned pineapple chunks (in juice)
- 15 ounces canned peach slices (in juice)
- 15 ounces canned pear halves (in juice)
- 8 ounces maraschino cherries (drained)
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the canned pineapple, peaches, and pears, reserving the juice in a medium-sized bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, peach slices, pear halves (cut into smaller pieces if desired), and drained maraschino cherries.
Add the reserved fruit juice to the mixing bowl and stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the top of the fruit mixture with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is heated through and the syrup is bubbling.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or dessert, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
