Slow-Cooked Hot Fruit Salad image

My old-fashioned fruit salad is convenient to make in the slow cooker when your oven and stovetop are occupied with other dishes. It's delicious alongside roasted meats, or even served over pound cake for dessert. -Debbie Kimbrough, Lexington, Mississippi

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. I can throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work.

I'm not a big fan of cooked fruit, but this recipe changed my mind. The slow-cooking process really mellows out the flavors and makes the fruit incredibly tender.

I'm allergic to bananas, so I substituted them with chopped strawberries. The salad was still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own customized fruit salad. I added some chopped nuts and dried cranberries to mine and it turned out delicious.

I love the idea of a slow-cooked fruit salad, but I think this recipe needs a few more spices. I might add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fruit salad turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked it on too high of a heat setting.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had a bunch of apples, pears, and bananas that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in the slow cooker and made this salad.
