                  Hot Curried Dried Fruit - Southern USA
Recipe By     :Adapted from "Nathalie Dupree's Comfortable Entertaining" (Viking, 1998).
Serving Size  : 12    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Condiment                       LowCal (Less than 300 cals)

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2             pounds  mixed dried fruit -- such as apricots, apples, cherries, cranberries, figs, peaches and raisins (coarsely chopped, if desired)
     1/2           cup  dry sherry -- or Madeira (may substitute chicken broth for a nonalcoholic version)
  8        tablespoons  salted butter -- (1 stick)
     1/2           cup  brown sugar -- light or dark  (packed)
  4          teaspoons  curry powder
  1           teaspoon  ground cumin
  1                cup  low-sodium chik'n broth -- (may substitute vegetable broth, in that case, add an extra dash of dry sherry or Madeira)
 
 
Combine the fruit and sherry or Madeira in a large bowl; cover and let sit
overnight (to macerate). Most of the liquid should be absorbed.
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
 
Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet or saute pan over medium
heat. Add the brown sugar, curry powder and cumin; cook for a few minutes,
stirring to combine. Add the macerated fruit and toss to coat evenly, then
add the broth and mix well. Transfer to the oven and bake for 45 minutes
to 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes or so to prevent burning.
The fruit should be evenly coated and glazed.
Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.

MAKE AHEAD: The fruit needs to macerate overnight, with an occasional
stir. The curried dried fruit can be prepared, covered and refrigerated up
to 2 weeks in advance.
 
There was a time when this Southern condiment/side dish was made with
canned fruit. Cookbook author Nathalie Dupree and her assistant, Margaret
Ann Surber, updated an old recipe by using dried fruit.
The recipe doubles easily; use a Dutch oven (without the lid) instead of 2
skillets or saute pans.
 
ChupaNote: this recipe did very well overnight in the slow cooker on LOW.
I also added 1/4 teaspoon ground Aleppo red pepper.
