Holiday Spiced Fruit Bake with Pecans

This dish was THE hit of the Saturday before Christmas Brunch! It smelled heavenly while it was baking and the fruit cooked just enough to be softened but wasn't mushy at all. The pecans added a nice crunch factor.

2 pears (different varieties), cored and chopped

3 apples (different varieties), cored and chopped

1 large can of pineapple chunks, drained, but reserve 2 T. of juice

1 cup fresh cranberries

1 stick butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1 t. cinnamon

1 T. orange blossom honey

1 cup pecan halves

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the pears, apples, pineapple, and cranberries. Stir to combine. 

In a small saucepan, combine reserved pineapple juice, butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and honey over low heat. Allow butter, sugar, and honey to melt and carefully pour over fruit.

Stir to make sure all fruit is covered with the butter mixture. Pour into baking dish. Place in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, add pecan halves and stir to combine. Return to oven for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
