Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven broiler to high or set your stovetop burner to medium heat, depending on your chosen preparation method.
  2. Drain the syrup from canned fruits like peaches, apricots, or pears if using; reserve a small amount for sauce if desired.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the reserved fruit syrup with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and a splash of lemon juice or vanilla extract.
  4. Simmer the spiced syrup for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced and fragrant, then remove from heat.
  5. Arrange the fruit halves or chunks in heatproof serving dishes or a baking dish.
  6. Pour the warm spiced syrup evenly over the fruit to coat each piece thoroughly.
  7. If broiling, top with a sprinkle of brown sugar and a dot of butter or margarine, then broil for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and lightly caramelized.
  8. For a no-cook option, simply toss fresh fruit with the spiced syrup and chill for 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with chopped nuts, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and flavor.
  10. Serve immediately while warm, or chill and serve cold as a refreshing dessert or side dish.
