    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a (9-inch) baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

    In a large bowl, stir together eggs, coconut milk, sugar, rice, vanilla, zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, apricots, cherries and raisins. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, stir, and continue baking, uncovered, until liquid is almost absorbed and rice is very tender, about 30 minutes more. Set aside to let cool for 10 minutes, then top with almonds and serve.
