  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9x2 inch oblong baking pan.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon, curry powder, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually whisk in the orange juice and melted butter until smooth.
  6. Pour the wet ingredient mixture evenly over the dried fruits in the prepared pan, ensuring all fruit is coated.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and carefully baste the fruit with the pan drippings.
  9. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is heated through.
