Crock Pot Meals

You could substitute peaches if you like them better than apricots and use brandy instead of cognac.  If you don't like the taste of cognac or brandy then you can add more orange juice but I encourage you to use the cognac for a wonderful taste sensation and to make the dessert a little more special.

In a microwave jug dissolve the brown sugar and water for approximately 30 seconds.  Add the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, juices and cognac.  Microwave another minute.  Stir well and add to crock pot base.  Add the drained apricots and stir through gently, trying not to break them up.  Cook on low for 2 hours and let cool in the crock pot.

Remove the clove before serving.  Makes around 4 - 5 servings.  This Decadent Cognac Apricot recipe is great served warm with custard or cold with cream or ice cream.  Store any left over servings in the refrigerator when cool.

NOTE:  You could even have this apricot dish as a breakfast,  served  cold with yogurt for a bit of luxury or to impress your house guests.  Its so easy to cook in the crock pot slow cooker, just cook the night before for a wonderful Sunday breakfast.
