This recipe for hot fruit compote has a delicious combination of pineapple, peaches, pears, cherries, and oranges. Served warm, this fruit recipe will complement your breakfast or brunch menu.
This quick and easy fruit compote is a tasty and innovative way to serve fruit at breakfast or brunch. Complement your quiche and breakfast casseroles with a blend of various fruits and orange sauce. All of the fruit flavors come together in the oven to make a beautiful and tasty sauce. Although I call this innovative, it is actually a very old recipe from my Grandmother’s recipe box. Everything seems to come back around, right?
Because this recipe calls for canned fruit, you can make this any time of year. Normally fruit is served cold, but sometimes that can take away from the true flavors of the fruit. By serving this warm, it brings out all those flavors, making the sauce a little bit more robust.
The addition of maraschino cherries breaks up the similar colors of the pineapple, peaches, and pears, plus almost everyone loves finding a cherry or two in their serving dish. It is just a nice added surprise. You could also substitute or add other fruits in here as well, such as apples for crunch or blueberries for additional color.
Get creative and serve the fruit compote in individual fruit bowls, ramekins, martini glasses, tulip glasses, or pudding cups. If you wish you can garnish each dish with a few mint leaves for added color.
