I couldn't find apricot halves so I substituted pineapple. It was fabulous! I made it with a pork roast - which is great. And I'm planning on making it with baked ham in the future. I think next time though - to make it a little more savory I will add a little more curry powder and a little less cinnamon. Thanks for a great one Candy!

This is wonderful. I agree with the reviewer who suggested less sugar, but that's strictly a personal preference, not a criticism! I didn't have brandy, so used bourbon, and it was delicious. I think rum might be nice, too? I served this at a bridal brunch, and had several requests for the recipe. I emailed them this link, so you get credit, Candy! Thanks for a true winner!

Oh wow! I didn't know that canned fruit could taste so good. This will be my new winter go-to recipe when I am in need of a fruit fix. It was very sweet - DH and I ended up saving it for dessert instead of eating it as a side. I would probably decrease the brown sugar if I intended to serve it as an actual side dish (not that it tastes bad as is). Also, I only used a 1/3 cup butter, and will probably decrease it to 1/4 cup next time, and maybe add some more brandy and/or fruit juice so that it doesn't dry out.
