Fresh Fruit Compote 5 to 7 hours

This is a basic recipe for cooking fresh fruits in the slow cooker. Use it to make compote of pears, apples, cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, or apricots. You can make compotes of mixed fresh fruits or of a single fruit. Use compote of pears and peaches to make classic desserts such as Poires Helene and Peach Melba (index).

To Cook: Place all the ingredients except the vanilla in the slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 5 to 7 hours. Remove the cover, stir in the vanilla, and then chill the fruit. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
