Hot Fruit Compote

My husband and daughter are coming home from a trip to the Pro-Life March in Washington, DC.   I wanted to have a hot home cooked meal for them when they arrive home (after 24 + hours on a bus).   I decided to go crockpot cooking way and have chicken and stuffing in one of the crockpots (actually it is new since I tripped over the cord of my old one and the crock went flying and broke).  I know how much my daughter likes fruit compote( or compost as she & her brother calls it) so I decided to fix that.   I didn't have the recipe close at hand for my usual recipe but decided to try this one.  I am thinking of adding some granola with it to make a nice warm dessert.

Hot Fruit Compote

Ingredients:

  • 1 can peaches, drained
  • 1 can pears, drained
  • 1 can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick butter or margarine (4oz)
  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Preparation:

Cut all fruit into bite-size pieces. Add rest of ingredients. Stir all together. Cover and cook on low 3 to 6 hours. Use as a side dish for breakfast or a meal, or as a topping for a dessert.
