Directions
Stir all ingredients together in a large heavy saucepan.
Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to as low as possible and cook, covered, until the fruit is softened and tender, 2 hours.
Stir the fruits occasionally while they cook.
If you have a crockpot, stir all the ingredients together in it and cook until the fruit is tender, 6 to 8 hours.
Serve the fruit warm or at room temperature.
