We have had unusually cold weather here the last few days. Today it was just on the verge of freezing and very windy with rain all day. We live right near a road which is slightly elevated and we heard on the news tonight that it had iced and portions of the road were closed because of downed trees. It's a good night to stay home and get some things done around the house.
I've been wanting to post this recipe for baked fruit for a while. It's a nice recipe to have on hand because it can function as a dessert or a side dish. You can make it with either regular brown sugar or the Splenda brown sugar if you are cooking for a diabetic.
Pear-Apricot Bake
2 Tbsps. butter or margarine
1 16 oz. can of pear halves, drained
1 16 oz. can of apricot halves, drained
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Cream or ice cream
Melt butter or margarine in a shallow baking dish in a preheated 350 degree oven. Arrange fruit, rounded side up in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 30 mins. Serve warm with cream or ice cream as a dessert or plain as a meat accompaniment. Makes approximately six servings.
Enjoy and stay warm this weekend!

This is really good (like everything else my wife makes)! You really should give this a try.

MMMMMmmmmm. What a great way to dress up canned fruit. It’s an easy “must try”!

Does the photo show baked or unbaked? This post reminds me of my senior year (HS) Home Ec home project which was presentation of fruit based desserts for my teacher’s critique. This would have filled the bill!

Marilyn, the photo of the fruit was taken after it was baked. It sounds like you had a very advanced high school home economics class. I’m disappointed that it is being phased out of so many schools.
