WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

FRUIT AND NUT BREAD PUDDING

16 slices firm-textured day-old bread
1 3/4 cup milk
8-oz mixed dried fruit, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Tear bread, with crusts, into 1 to 2-inch pieces; place into slow cooker. Pour milk over the bread. Allow bread to soak for 30 minutes. Stir in the dried fruit, nuts, and apple.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the bread mixture. Stir well to blend.
Place lid on cooker and cook on low setting 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Yield: 5 to 8 servings
