Spiced Chicken with Peaches and Pineapple Sauce


Spiced Chicken with Peaches and Pineapple Sauce

1 3-lb. chicken, cut up
1 8-oz can crushed pineapple
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
pepper
1 pound of sliced puréed peaches, fresh, frozen or canned (if you use
canned, rinse and drain them very well)

In a large fry pan, combine chicken, pineapple orange juice, raisins, almonds, cinnamon, and cloves. Simmer, partly covered, for 45 minutes, turning chicken occasionally. Add peach purée to pan and stir until well blended. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes longer, until chicken is tender and sauce is slightly thickened. Season with pepper to taste.
