How to Make Tropical Breakfast Ambrosia

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine 1 cup diced pineapple, 1/2 cup segmented oranges, 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup maraschino cherries (drained), and 1 tablespoon amaretto.
Transfer the fruit mixture to an ungreased 3-quart casserole dish.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Stir in 2 ripe bananas, sliced, and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut and 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts (or sliced almonds).
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fruit is heated through and the coconut/nuts are golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let cool slightly before serving. Spoon the delicious juices from the bottom of the casserole over the fruit and enjoy warm with your favorite eggs and toasted brioche or multigrain bread.
