Orange-Sauced Slow Cooker Hot Fruit

WW Recipe of the Day: Orange-Sauced Slow Cooker Hot Fruit

The recipe for this orange-sauced slow cooker hot fruit caught my eye as I was skimming through Slow and Easy: Fast-Fix Recipes for Your Electric Slow Cooker (affiliate link) the other day.

It seemed different, but in a good way.

When I think of fruit salad I think chilled, which isn't always appealing in the middle of winter.

That's where this orange-sauced slow cooker hot fruit salad comes in.

Orange-Sauced Slow Cooker Hot Fruit Salad

Made with canned fruit tossed in a simple sauce made of orange juice concentrate, brown sugar and cornstarch, it's a nice way to start the day...

If you're not opposed to canned fruit.

Which I'm not. (I love cottage cheese with canned peaches.)

Recipe Notes

I adapted the recipe only slightly, making a half batch and using fewer pears than called for.

We enjoyed this hot fruit for breakfast, both agreeing that it was different but good.

I think it would be nice as a topping for waffles, pancakes, or the crock pot baked oatmeal I made a few days ago.

And would work for dessert topping ice cream, frozen yogurt, pound cake or angel food cake too.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, well drained
• ▢ 2 cans (14 to 15 ounces each) yellow cling sliced peaches in juice, well drained
• ▢ 1 can (14 to 15 ounces) pear halves, in juice, well drained and chopped
• ▢ 6 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• ▢ 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ▢ 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• ▢ 1 tablespoon orange-flavored liqueur (optional)

Instructions

• Ideal slow cooker size: 2-Quart.
• Dump all the drained fruit into your slow cooker.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the orange juice concentrate, cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until well blended.
• Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
• Whisk until blended. Continue to microwave for 30 to 60 seconds longer, until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
• Whisk in the brown sugar until well combined.
• Add the orange sauce to the fruit in the slow cooker and toss gently to coat.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or until the sauce is thickened and is bubbling gently around the edges.
• If the mixture doesn't seem thick enough, uncover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes more. (Mine was plenty thick and didn't need this.)
• Remove the cover and stir in the orange liqueur if using.
• Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or even chilled.
