We found this recipe when searching for a ham and curried fruit recipe - how lucky can you get? It is very, very good. We used the basic concept but used canned cherries and peach slices with fresh pineapple and pears. We cooked the pears in their skins so that they wouldn't fall apart. We used a lot more curry powder than in the recipe because we like HOT curry. We cooked extra curry in juice and added it a bit at a time until it was right for us. This is a keeper and will be used regularly. Thanks for the recipe Maryellen!

We served this for our Health Fair this year, we are always looking for something different. We did serve the sauce from a crockpot over chilled fruit, however, and it was wonderful that way. We ran out of the fruit mixture, so ran to our facility kitchen for a gallon of pears. They were wonderful with the sauce, and an extremely easy way to go. Thanks for a great recipe and crowd pleaser.

Great with ham, everyone loved it. I baked the night before and reheated. Even more flavour and the curry matured.

I have made this recipe for several years at holiday time. My family loves the curry in this unusual dish. Additional hints--don't bother if you are going to use margerine. I add 2 bananas. Use up to 4 tsp of curry, depending on strength of the curry. I cover and refrigerate 24 hrs ahead. Have also added handfuls of raisins or craisins and fresh pineapple when it is available. Fruit or curry haters try it--you will enjoy!

This recipe is Delicious! I was served it for the first time yesterday and simply cannot get enough of it. It sounds weird and I never would have picked this recipe to try on my own but it's well worth it. It is like eating the filling out of a holiday pie!

This is a very nice recipe. I added more spice and less butter. I also like it better with fresh fruit.

I made this on the stovetop using only crushed pineapple. I served it with baked ham - very good. Next time I will add more curry - this was a really mild taste.
