Slow-Cooker Spiced Fruit image

My late aunt who lived in Hawaii gave me this cherished recipe. She would prepare a traditional tropical meal for us whenever we visited and always included this fruity delight. I always think of her when I make it, whether it is for the holidays or an everyday meal. -Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some apples and oranges that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the slow cooker with some spices and they turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of fruit, but this recipe changed my mind. The spices really brought out the flavor of the fruit and the slow cooker made it so tender.
