Slow Cooker Fruit Recipes
Many people tend to overlook fruit s as viable ingredients for slow
cooking. However, this method is actually ideal for preparing fruit
sauces, side dishes, and desserts. Before starting your fruit dish,
though, be sure to properly prepare your ingredients. This means
thoroughly washing all your fruit. Depending on your recipe of choice,
you may also need to peel, chop, or core the fruit as well.

General Slow Cooker Tips
- One hour on HIGH is equal to two hours on LOW.
- The LOW setting is about 200 degrees, and the HIGH setting is about 300
degrees. Note that both of these temps are well above the minimum safe
temperature of 140 degrees.
- Only fill the crockpot one half to two thirds full. The foods will not
cook properly if the appliance is filled to the brim. If the food and liquid
level is lower, the foods will cook too quickly.
- Foods cooked on the bottom of the slow cooker cook faster and will be
moister because they are immersed in the simmering liquid.
- Don't lift the lid to stir, especially if you are cooking on the low
setting. Each time you lift the lid, enough heat will escape that the
cooking time should be extended by 20 minutes to half an hour.
