Ingredients for Hot Spiced Fruit

  • Canned Peach Halves
  • Pear Halves In Natural Juice
  • Pineapple Chunks
  • Orange Marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons margarine (or butter)

How to Make Hot Spiced Fruit

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup marmalade (orange or apricot), 1 cinnamon stick, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low, add 2 tablespoons of margarine (or butter), 1 cup sliced peaches, and 1 cup sliced pears. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving. Enjoy warm!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
