Crock-Pot Hot Fruit

Gadgetsmidnight's Note:

About 15 years ago I went to a girls get together and one of the women brought this drink/dessert. It was amazing. Whenever I bring it to an event, it is the first thing to go. Great for when the weather gets cold. Leftovers, if there is any, can be reheated and put over vanilla ice cream. Finally, the recipe works whether you use the expensive or the cheapest ingredients around. Can/jar size is approx.

Five stars for preparation ease and tastiness. I wondered just when to serve this recipe, but it has proven to be very versatile. Gadgetsmidnight's sidenote suggestions are all worthwhile options.
