This elegant Orange Fruit Casserole elevates canned fruit with the bright complexity of fresh orange. The unique preparation of cooking orange peel until tender adds sophisticated bitter notes that balance the sweetness perfectly. A light sauce of butter, flour and fruit juice binds everything together, while a splash of sherry adds unexpected depth. Served hot, this versatile dish works equally well as a side with ham or as a sophisticated dessert topped with ice cream.
