Yes, Slow Cooker Tuesday appears on a Wednesday this week. (Explanation ~here~.)
Many years ago, I made a dish like this once or twice from a recipe that I had clipped from our local paper, but I misplaced it. Of course, I was able to find many similar recipes via google search, and so I took the elements I liked from several sources, and made my own version of a hot spiced fruit compote.
It was better than I remembered, and now I am thinking of all the ways I could serve this! Tonight we enjoyed it as a side dish, accompanying rotisserie chicken and a green salad. But I could also see this compote as a dessert, maybe with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. I am also imagining it atop waffles, although I'd probably add a bit more cornstarch to the recipe so it would have a thicker consistency. Actually, I think it would be a great addition to many breakfast or brunch menus.
I believe I'll have the opportunity to try out some of my ideas, because my family loved it and would like to have it again!

I love warm fruit! Warm homemade chunky applesauce over a hot buttered biscuit is the stuff of dreams! Warm fruit compote on a cold morning... ahhh!

This dish does not sound like "my cup of tea" but I might be surprised. It does remind me that there is so much more I could be doing with my slow cooker!
