How to Make Tropical Curried Fruit

  1. Prepare 1 ripe mango, 1 ripe papaya, and 1 red bell pepper. Dice all into ½-inch pieces and set aside in a bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup raisins with 2 tablespoons of dark rum. Stir to coat and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add ¼ cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of curry paste, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the diced mango, papaya, and red bell pepper to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Add the raisin and rum mixture and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Stir gently. The fruit will release its juices and the sauce will thicken slightly.
  6. Continue to stir carefully until the fruit is heated through and coated in the sauce (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Pour the Tropical Curried Fruit into a serving dish and sprinkle generously with ½ cup of shredded fresh coconut.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy! This delicious side dish pairs perfectly with grilled or broiled chicken, fish, or pork.
