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.

2 cans (15 1/4-oz each) sliced pears, undrained
1 jar (23-oz) chunky applesauce
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries

In a 3-quart slow cooker or crock-pot, combine the sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, if using.  Stir in the drained peaches, pears with juice, applesauce, apricots, and cranberries.
