About Spiced Fruit Bake

Spiced Fruit Bake is a warm and comforting dessert that is made by baking a mix of fruits with honey and warm spices.

Although you can make it year-round, I love to bake it during the fall season and for Christmas. It is also great for cold, rainy evenings.

Serve it as a dessert with scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crème fraîche. It is also great as a tea-time snack with your favorite cup of tea, such as Ginger Tea or Saffron Tea.

  1. how do you reduce the amount of juice at the bottom? or is there supposed to be all that juice? does the fruit get to soggy to fast?

  2. I have made this twice now and simply love it, and all my guests loved it too! Thank you very much. Two questions– Is there a way of prepping ahead of time? And if I have some of the baked fruit remaining, do you think I can refrigerate it and re-use it later?

    1. Thanks much for trying my recipe. You can chop the fruits and mix them with lemon juice and refrigerate for a day.I always refrigerate the remaining fruits. Warm them at low heat in the oven and re use.
