Slow-Cooked Fruit Salad

This is so delicious.  The name seems a bit ridiculous because I have a hard time thinking of a hot salad.  I'll call it stewed fruit instead.  If you have home canned fuit (especially the peaches) it makes this about a thousand times better than store bought!

Stewed Fruit
1/2 - 3/4 c. sugar (really depends on personal preference)
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt
2 cans sliced peaches, drained
2 cans sliced pairs (it said undrained, but I drain mine because I think it's too runny otherwise - your choice)
1 jar (23 oz) applesauce, chunky or smooth
1/2 c. dried apricots, chopped
1/4 c. dried cranberries

In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the sugar, butter, spices and salt.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or until heated through.  Yield: 10 servings
