If you're planning your Thanksgiving dinner and need another idea for a side dish, I'm here to help! Some of you may think of this more as a dessert, but it's traditional in our family to serve this Baked Fruit along with the turkey and other savory menu items.

The contrast of a little sweet along with the savory is a very southern thing. We do love our "sweet and salt" in the south - biscuits with a slice of ham and peach preserves, cream cheese with sweet-hot pepper jelly, baked fruit with turkey and dressing. Yum.

This is a fall and winter recipe which uses canned fruits along with the warm spices of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. And when it's cooking the fragrance will fill your home with a beautiful holiday scent!

My mother makes a very similar baked fruit recipe using curry powder in addition to the other spices. If you want to add a little curry to yours, it will be fantastic, too.
