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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the light brown sugar and curry powder, whisking until combined and smooth.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the curry and butter mixture evenly over the arranged fruits in the baking dish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the fruits are warmed through and the sauce is bubbling lightly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.
